Thomas Dixon will contribute to the event Emotion, Memory & the Mind next month, taking place between 7 and 8 July 2016 at The Old Ship Hotel, Brighton. This event is part of The Human Mind Project and the information below is from their website:
What we remember, and how we remember it, constitutes the texture of human life. Just as emotions shape our sense of things, including ourselves and other people, so memories shape the sense of who we are and what we have become throughout history. How do memory and emotions contribute to lived experience and the identity of people? Are current approaches across the mind and brain sciences adequate for the task of explaining the complex nature of feelings, sensations, memory and identity? Can we study memory and emotion in other species, are there collective memories, and have our emotional lives changed over time?
