So what relationship could there possibly be between the human brain and our oceans? UNSW Australia Post-doctoral Research Fellow Tristan Sasse wants to use the techniques that neuroscience - the complex study of the brain - have given us to measure ocean acidity - an environmental issues which has major implications for billions of human beings who rely on the oceans for a food source.
