Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

September 10, 2018 \u2013 Minding The Brain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever considered why a painting or song can make you cry?  Perhaps you have wondered about the effects of pervasive social media culture, lasting stress, or the casual use of marijuana? Are you curious why we are so obsessed with the lives of the rich and famous?  If you asked yourself any of these questions or spent any time at all deliberating the many secrets of the human mind, this Throwback 2018 event is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science invites you to a live recording of the popular podcast Minding the Brain<\/em><\/a> hosted by world-renowned experts and 杏吧原创 professors Kim Hellemans (Department of Neuroscience) and Jim Davies (Institute of Cognitive Science).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minding the Brain<\/em> is a show about the part of you that\u2019s reading this right now: your brain! The standard format for the show has Hellemans and Davies interviewing each other and other specialists about a different mind-related topic every month. For example, in 2018, episodes covered issues such as concussions, drugs, and how we imagine our futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this special live recording episode of the podcast titled \u201c20 Questions with Kim and Jim\u201d, the award-winning Hellemans and Davies will answer your questions, any and all, about the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are encouraged to submit your questions in advance of the event by tweeting to @MindingtheBrain or through registering online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Science for a fun and fascinating evening on Monday, September 10, 2018, from 6-8 pm in Dunton Tower, room 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone from the 杏吧原创 community and beyond is invited, and admission is free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
