The Provocateurs: Your mind's world / Panic! At the cortex

Dr Bérengère Digard (The University of Edinburgh) talks about how your inner world is crafted by your brain, just for you. Discover how the brain can create life-like films, erase all sounds and images, blur faces, and give flavours to sounds.

Does the state of the world make you anxious? Worried? Full of impending doom? Emily Payne (The University of Edinburgh) thinks that’s probably a good thing. A dive into the neuroscience behind anxiety reveals that instability is to blame, and what you can do about it.

Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
