A Day in the Life of a Brain: The Neuroscience of Consciousness from Dawn ‘til Dusk

Venue: Ian Potter Auditorium, Kenneth Myer Building

Presenters: Professor Baroness Susan Greenfield CBE

A Day in the Life of a Brain, will explore the way we all construct and experience our take on the world through our own private thoughts. In the sequel to bestseller The Private Life of the Brain, Baroness Susan Greenfield combines scientific insight with straightforward narrative as she traces consciousness over the course of a day – from being woken by an alarm clock to walking the dog; working in an open plan office and our sensitivity to colour; the qualities of a creative mind or the mental effects of, say, dementia or depression; from minding your teenage son to dreaming, and the laying down of memory. Copies of A Day in the life of a Brain will be available for purchase after the lecture.
