“Super Science Thursday” for the whole family

Continuing the cycle of talks for PAR Explora O’Higgins’ Open Science program, during Thursday, September 30, there will be three discussions dealing with different topics for the whole family: Neuroscience, Traditional Herbal Medicine and Energy Efficiency.

“We are very pleased to be able to present such a special day to the community, with three talks addressing topics important for all ages, i.e. for the whole family. We will delve into the science of neuroscience, and the reality of renewable energies,” said Rodrigo Verschi, Director of PAR Explora O’Higgins. The ancient culture of herbal medicine.

Neuromagia

Biologist and magician, Javier Rodriguez, meets in an audiovisual duel with neuroscientist Eduardo Origo. Both, through a series of magic tricks, will explain scientific phenomena related to neuroscience in a playful way. How does the brain deceive us? How do we perceive reality? , are some of the answers that will be answered in this neuroscience session.

“In this activity, with Eduardo (Orrego), we want to enhance scientific communication and give an interactive and entertaining course to the concepts of brain perception, which tend to be very dogmatic. We want, from an entertainment point of view, to We explain how magic happens in our brain.

The activity called “Neuromagia: The Magic Behind Perception”, organized by PAR Explora and the Moises Mussa School, aims to stimulate knowledge about neuroscience in students and in the rest of the participants.
