When Neuroscience meets filmmaking
Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin
Second event of the Art and Neuroscience Series with the neuroscientist Uri Hasson and the film director Amos Gitai.
This second event of the Art and Neuroscience Series, organized by the Association of Neuroesthetics in collaboration with the Deutsche Guggenheim and the Berlin School of Mind and Brain (Humboldt Universitat), will focus on the theory of the moving image by presenting the work and research of the neuroscientist Uri Hasson and the film director Amos Gitai. Since the early days of cinema, it has been acknowledged that film has a tight grip on the minds of the viewer, yet only recently have we been able to record viewers' brain states while watching a film. With new analytical tools such as a method of inter-subject correlation (ISC), used by Uri Hasson for assessing the level of control that a given film has upon viewers' brain activity, we are obtaining new possibilities to bring together two separate, largely unrelated, disciplines of cognitive neuroscience and film studies. This new technology and research has opened the way for a new interdisciplinary field of neurocinematic studies. The film director and artist Amos Gitai will share the reasons of his choice to use the media of film to express his authorial vision. Curated by Elena Agudio & Daniel Margulies.
