Ilya Kolmanovsky with a scientific lecture on how the brain makes decisions. How do we know (or don't we?) what our own brain has decided? And can we intervene in this process?
The question of how our brains make decisions is one of the most important questions for neuroscientists and you and me alike. Research shows that the brain always knows much more than we realize. It turns out that before any decision is made, the brain is bargaining between several different forces and each is trying to gain the upper hand.
During the lecture we will discuss many simple experiments that everyone can apply to themselves. What are the traps of modern reality that the brain is guaranteed to fall into? Why is it especially difficult to make decisions in an era of change, and how to make the best decisions using the achievements of science? How to live with all this in your head?
You are waiting for not just a lecture, but a real scientific standup from the famous podcaster! In general, Ilya invites adults to this meeting, but you can take older teenagers with you, they will also appreciate it.
Ilya Kolmanovsky is a PhD in biology, science journalist, author of the podcasts "Naked Digger" and "One and a Half Digger". His job is to read scientific research every day, talk to scientists, and visit their labs (sometimes as a research volunteer). And then to put together offline meetings, discussions, and workshops to talk together about what the scientists have asked us to pass on and what we want to pass on to them in return.
