"Human Brains" is the result of a complex research conducted by Fondazione
Prada in collaboration with a scientific board chaired by neurologist Giancarlo
Comi and composed of researchers, physicians, psychologists, linguists,
philosophers, popularizers and curators, such as Jubin Abutalebi, Massimo
Cacciari, Viviana Kasam, Udo Kittelmann, Letizia Leocani, Andrea Moro and
Daniela Perani. This project on science is a true challenge for a cultural
institution like Fondazione Prada. The dialogue embodied by "Human Brains"
underlines the importance of cooperation in order to give value and disseminate
meaningful studies and practices for our present.
"Conversations" is an innovative format for in-depth analysis, communication
and popularization addressed to a heterogeneous and international public
composed of students, researchers, and people of all ages and backgrounds
interested in neurosciences and brain studies in general.
Each conversation will consist of a 40-minute online debate in which two
prestigious researchers will dialogue with each other via live streaming on a
specific topic, coordinated by a moderator. Anatomist, author and broadcaster
Alice Roberts will take up the role for the first 6 events.
