Our most sincere apologies for the last minute change.
Bridging the Gap between Mind and Brain by Kate Stone
Brain and Mind, the next frontier. We are honored to have Kate Stone ushering us through these fascinating fields of research.
Kate comments: ''The year 400 marked the first documented association between the concept of the “mind” with the physical brain. In the 1615 years that have followed, mind-brain research has developed from crude “guesswork” to the much more sophisticated methods of investigation available to us today. In this talk we will take a quick look at some highlights in early mind-brain research before looking more closely at how network theories are being applied today to uncover the human brain’s “connectome”.''
(PSC organizer note: A connectome is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". More broadly, a connectome would include the mapping of all neural connections within an organism's nervous system.)
