Neuroscience

Weighing only 1.2 kg and making up a mere two percent of our total body mass, how does our diminutive brain come to dictate the course of our lives? The lecture elucidates the complexities of the human body, brain, and mind in a simple and understandable manner, drawing upon a wealth of findings from neuroscience. Together, we will explore how we can break free from our predetermined fate and pave the way for a brighter future.

The Neuroscience of Destiny

British Science Communicator Hannah Critchlow Discusses Neuroscience of Human Fate and Free Will

Hannah Critchlow

 Hannah Critchlow is a world-renowned neuroscientist and Kingsley Bye-Fellow at Magdalene College in Cambridge University. In 2014, the Science Council named her one of the UK's 100 leading practicing scientists and one of ten leading “communicator scientists.” In 2019, she was listed by Nature as one of Cambridge University's “Rising Stars in Biological Sciences.” That year, she was also elected a member of the prestigious European Dana Alliance of the Brain, which is comprised of Europe's eminent neuroscientists.

 Hannah Critchlow's first book, The Science of Fate, captivated the public immediately after publication in 2019, making it onto the Sunday Times' “Top Ten Bestseller” and Amazon UK's bestseller lists. As a top scientist and communicator, she is at the forefront of popularizing science by disseminating scientific information for everyone to understand.

The Neuroscience of Fear

The mechanisms of fear and anxiety explained through brain science

Joseph E. LeDoux

 Joseph LeDoux is an American neuroscientist who was the first to discover that it is the amygdala that produces a behavioral response when we feel a threat. Under the guidance of Michael Gazzaniga, who pioneered the second-generation cognitive science called cognitive neuroscience, Joseph LeDoux received a PhD while studying split-brain patients at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. From 1989, he served at the Center for Neural Science at NYU as an associate professor. He was named a university professor, the highest honor for a faculty member at NYU, in 2005 and is now the director at the Emotional Brain Institute.

 Joseph LeDoux received the William James Book Award in 2014 for ‘Anxious,’ in which he sought to correct the misunderstood mechanisms of fear and anxiety. As a fun aside, he is a songwriter and lead singer of a folk-rock band, The Amygdaloids, formed in 2004 with his colleague and other academics from NYU. The lyrics carry with them some scholarly insights into the mind and brain.
