The College of Fellows cordially invites you to join the
Panel discussion "Mirroring Society in Neuroscience"
with Professor Vittorio Gallese and Professor Andreas Heinz
9 July 2024, 7.00pm
Audimax, Neue Aula
(Geschwister-Scholl-Platz, Tübingen)
Vittorio Gallese, one of the discoverers of mirror neurons and one of the world's leading experts in the field of social neuroscience, is a Humboldt Research fellow at the University of Tübingen in the summer semester 2024.
Under the title "Mirroring Society in Neuroscience", the College of Fellows is organising an interdisciplinary panel discussion on 9 July between Vittorio Gallese and Andreas Heinz, Director of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at Charité Berlin, in which they will discuss the mirroring relationships between society and neuroscience from different perspectives and address the following questions, among others:
Where is my mind? What influence does the paradigm of embodied cognition, which does not localise it (solely) in the head, have on the understanding of human development and social interactions? How do neuroscientific paradigms or pathologising psychiatric diagnoses reflect social beliefs?
Gallese and Heinz will each give a short keynote speech followed by a moderated discussion; both are eminent representatives of their respective disciplines and proponents of interdisciplinary dialogue.
