This discussion will explore a new area of neurocognitive studies, using movies to study aspects of human cognition that cannot be readily studied in controlled and simplified experimental settings.

This discussion will explore a new area of neurocognitive studies, using movies to study aspects of human cognition that cannot be readily studied in controlled and simplified experimental settings. Uri Hasson (Princeton University, US), a senior author on those studies, will present some of their more recent results, while Gina Rippon, Professor of Cognitive Neuroimaging at Aston University, will provide some further perspective on the uses of neuroimaging. The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session chaired by Emil Toescu (Birmingham University).

Part of Film Bug and Cafe Neuro, across Colmore Business District from 20-23 March.
