The Zukunftskolleg is warmly welcoming the Senior Fellows Prof. Giora Hon from the University of Haifa who is our guest since 1st July. He has been nominated by our Alumnus Samuel Schindler and will stay until 30th September.

Prof. Giora Hon is a great addition to the Zukunftskolleg. His work is located at the interface between the history of physics and the philosophy of science. He is thus well-versed in and prepared for the interdisciplinary context of the Zukunftskolleg.

On Thursday, June 28, at 18:45 - 19:15, in A 701 Joachim Gross, Senior Fellow of the Zukunftskolleg in Psychology, will be giving a public seminar entitled "Brainwaves: The secret language of the brain?".


"Brain oscillations are a prominent feature of dynamic brain activity. The last decade has seen a large number of studies exploring the functional role of brain oscillations. Systematic modulations of oscillatory amplitude have been shown to relate to many cognitive processes including attention, memory and conscious perception. This adds to the hypothesis that brain oscillations play a role in neural communication and may represent ' a secret language of the brain'."

Joachim Gross  is Professor of Psychology and Head of the Brain Oscillations Group at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, University of Glasgow.

Everyone is welcome to join the event!
