Lone Frank, Denmark's most distinguished science writer and author of the bestselling book Mindfield comes to the RSA to discuss the implications of the coming age of 'neurocentrism'.
Join Lone as she investigates the neural basis for empathy and morality, and looks at the economic, legal and political ramifications of the 'social brain'. What does it really mean to be human? What is the neurological nature of religious experience? Is there really a science of happiness? And how can we harness the power of the 'neurorevolution' to change the world?
Chair: Rita Carter, award-winning author of Mapping the Mind
