Talk at PechaKucha Eindhoven: How to resist brain porn?

This Thursday (February 28th), I’m giving a speedlecture at Pecha Kucha Eindhoven, at the Temporary Art Centre (TAC). Other speakers include: Fulco Treffers, Hilma Bovenkerk, Marc Dubach, Luc van de Keilen, Mariek Plasier, Paul Kemper,  Rik van Iersel, and Wim Grommen.

I will speak about brain porn, simplistic representations of neuroscience research in public discourse, and how to resist it by showing three common rhetorical neuro-fallacies. It proves to be a challenge: Pecha Kucha talks are structured around 20 slides, each shown 20 sec (so 6.40min in total). How’s that for a philosopher?
