Jumilla has a new appointment with City Science.
It will be next Monday, April 3 through the conference 'Neuromagia'.
It will be taught in the morning (11:50 p.m.) at the IES Arzobispo Lozano, for students of the center and in the afternoon (at 5:00 p.m.) at the Roque Baños Sociocultural Center, for all Jumillanos who want attend.
He will be in charge of Luis M. Martínez, titular scientist of the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations in the Institute of Neurosciences of Alicante, where he directs the laboratory of Visual Neurosciences.
Their long-term scientific goals are to understand how the brain constructs the visual perception of the world, why different brain types use different strategies and how these brain mechanisms can guide the design of new therapeutic techniques and computer applications.
Neuroscience and magic live on the brain.
The first to know it from the scientific point of view.
The second to 'cheat' and create an illusion to amuse and generate spectacle.
The neuroscientist is interested in understanding how the magician deceives the brain, making him 'see' extraordinary things without actually being.
That is why magicians and scientists come together periodically to discover 'magic magic', taking advantage of that little slip that occurs in all brains and that the magician uses to do his tricks.
If the brain were perfect magic would be impossible.
But equally it can be said that if it were very imperfect, magic would also be impossible.
Magic, science and brains (those of attendees) come together in this talk to know a little more about the mental limitations and something as fundamental as the brain.
