I just found out that V.S. Ramachandran is giving a free talk, this Wednesday, at the Royal Society in London.
The talk is entitled ‘Nature and nurture in brain function: clues from synesthesia and phantom limbs’ and for those not able to make the event in person, it’s going to be webcast live.
Ramchandran is an excellent speaker, so shouldn’t be missed if you’ve not seen him talk before.
Link to details of Ramchandran talk.
I’m hoping to get to this tomorrow. I thought he Ted talk was excellent and I’m guessing it’ll be the same slides but much more content.
