Sinapsis - Episodio 6: Cine y Cerebro

Why do films fascinate us so much? How can the stories projected on a screen absorb us to the point of making us forget the outside world? Cinema stimulates many elements at the same time: sight and hearing, but also our brain action observation network, and systems for social interactions and empathy. In this episode of SINAPSIS, Fernanda Pérez-Gay will explore the results of pioneering studies of neurocinematics and the special effects with which filmmakers direct the activity of our brains. Through the episode, she will also talk about the influence of the social experience of cinema on our emotions and we will have the chance to listen to the perspective of Dr. Rafael Salín Pascual, psychiatrist and researcher who will explore how the cinema is inspired by neuroscience subjects. Are you ready? Lights, camera, action! For references and more information: https://www.convergenceinitiative.org...
