A lecture by brain researcher Amit Abron focusing on the comparison between the human brain and those of other mammals, the cognitive abilities of birds and ants, and questions regarding the morality of apes and humans. The lecture will present recent studies in neuroscience and address philosophical and scientific questions.
Is the human brain fundamentally different from that of other mammals? How does a "bird brain" enable creative thinking? Do ants know mathematics, and what do monkeys teach us about morality? What makes a person "human"? All these questions and more will be addressed in a lecture by brain researcher Amit Avron.
