Lecture Series "Ways to explore the Brain"
October 06, 2017: How does a rat manage to catch its prey in the dark? What happens in our brain when we formulate a sentence? Can monkeys count and why is it important that we know this? In what kind of neurological structures does anxiety manifest itself and how can it be controlled? What happens in the brain during an epileptic seizure and what does this imply for medical therapies? And how do philosophers approach brain research? These are just a few of the many fascinating questions that will be addressed by local and invited scientists from various disciplines in a clear and understandable way.
