The Brain: The Story of You
October 19 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
IN-PERSON: Let’s meet and talk about *The Brain* based on David Eagleman’s [book](https://tinyurl.com/4kpdbum3).
“Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are “you”? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people? How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you.”
Everyone is welcome whether you have read the book or not.
