New Scientist Event
Instant Expert— How Your Brain Works
Saturday, 20 May 2024from 10:00 to 17:00
London, United Kingdom
Ever wondered how your brain works? How that stuff in your head enables you to see, hear and think about the world around you, make decisions and act on them? Join six leading scientists to explore what we know about 4fcthe most difficult kilo of matter in the universe”.
The day will be chaired by psychologist and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s All in the mirtd，Claudia Hammond. ’Overview:
The brain has long been a source of fascination. In 1819, the radical(激進的）thinker and surgeon William Lawrence put it like this: “It’s strongly suspected that a Newton or Shakespeare excels other men only ... by having an extra inch of brain in the right place.”
Today, many such suspicions are certainties. This event will introduce you to the evolution of the brain. We’ll study technique for controlling the brain using electric and magnetic fields, as well as the latest technologies that follow you to control the outside world using your mind alone.
