Berlin Brains: Between the Glances – The Hidden Dynamics of Seeing

– Verzerrte Spiegelung eines Auges in schillernden Seifenblasen mit bunten Lichtreflexen.

LiveSeeing is a turbulent process. With every eye movement, our perception shifts: attention jumps ahead, visual impressions are amplified, suppressed, and reassembled. The fact that we experience the world as stable is one of the brain’s greatest achievements. In the immersive space of the planetarium dome, Martin Rolfs and Nina Hanning make these hidden dynamics of vision tangible for the first time in a completely new dimension. They invite the audience to a live experiment in which current research is not only demonstrated but also experienced together.Speakers: Martin Rolfs, , Professor of General Psychology: Active Perception and Cognition at the Institute of Psychology, Humboldt University of Berlin; Principal Investigator of the Cluster of Excellence “Science of Intelligence”Nina Hanning, Head of the FreeView Research Group at the Institute of Psychology, Humboldt University of Berlin; alumna of the Cluster of Excellence “Science of Intelligence”Moderator: Dr. Jochen MüllerAbout Berlin Brains:Berlin Brains is a joint event series organized by: Urania Berlin, the Berlin Planetarium Foundation, the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin, the Einstein Center for Neuroscience, the Clusters of Excellence NeuroCure and Science of Intelligence, the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1315, Transregional Collaborative Research Center (SFB TRR) 295 ReTune, and SFB TRR 384 IN-CODEAdmission is free.
