No brain is the same. Yet society is largely shaped around the idea of a ‘standard brain.’ If you deviate from that norm, we now speak of a ‘neurodivergent brain’—usually referring to autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, dyslexia, or other traits that differ from what is considered typical.
But what exactly is a ‘standard brain’? Does such a thing even exist? And what do we really mean when we talk about neurodiversity?
Come and listen to scientific researcher Amy De Roubaix and philosopher Léon de Bruin as they explore the meaning of our unique brains and invite you to think further.
