A clinical neuroscientist, a psychologist, and a roboticist walk into a bar… in this event our interdisciplinary panel of scientists will share their views on ‘embodied cognition’ – the idea that our physical bodies play a key role in how our minds work. This is a discussion-based event that will prioritise questions from the audience, so come and join Emily Henderson, Hannah Stott, and Ben Ward-Cherrier to explore the importance of the mind-body connection.
