Neuromagic

This December 5th, 2018, a conference will be offered in French to the entire population of Marseille on the campus of St Charles at 18h. Presented by Prof. Jérôme Trouslard from the University of Aix-Marseille, this conference will address the theme of Neuromagic.

Faced with the gigantic flow of information that floods us, our brain offers us partial representations of our world sometimes even far from  reality. These representations may be different for each of us and sometimes give rise to illusions. For centuries, magicians have cultivated this art of illusion to entertain first and foremost; others will claim to possess particular powers; neuroscientists focus on studying them to better understand how the brain works.

The speaker will address these issues in a fun and interactive way and discuss the emergence of a new discipline called "Neuromagic" where magicians and neuroscientists are in fact unexpected new collaborators.
