Reviews theme Brain
Neurodiversity: Is Every Brain Unique? | Lecture and conversation with scientific researcher Amy De Roubaix and philosopher Léon de Bruin
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’. What do we really mean when we talk about neurodiversity?
Our Brain and Evil | Lecture and conversation with neuroscientist Inti Brazil and philosopher Marcel Becker
Do brains of psychopaths differ much from those of the average person? Every person is capable of doing evil things, but some have less trouble doing it than others. How does that work in your brain?
Nose Wisdom: How Smell Guides Your Choices | Radboud Reflects @Stadseiland Stek by social psychologist Jasper de Groot
Are our noses capable of more than we think, and should we start taking scent more seriously? Learn from social psychologist Jasper de Groot and discover what your nose is capable of.
What is Trauma? | Lecture and conversation by neuroscientist Sabrina van Heukelum and psychiatrist Derek Strijbos
What is trauma? Where is the line between something unpleasant and something traumatic, and has that line shifted over time? What does this say about our thinking about resilience and mental health?

Stress! Modern Plague or Buzzword? | Lecture and conversation with neuroscientist Erno Hermans and scholar of communication Enny Das
Everyone has stress. So it seems. But is there more stress than there used to be, or is the term just being used more often? What do we actually mean when we talk about “stress”? And what happens in our bodies when we experience it?
Psychedelics: Poison, Medicine or Magic | Lecture and conversation with cultural scientist Brigitte Adriaensen, philosopher Pieter Lemmens and psychologist Kim van Oorsouw
Psychedelics are seen as poison for people and society, as recreational drugs and part of a culture or sometimes even as medicine. Learn how our view of psychedelic drugs has changed.
Are We Our Hormones? | Lecture and conversation with neuroscientist Anna Tyborowska and psychologist Lotte Gerritsen
Hormones have a tremendous effect on our lives. They can influence our behavior and our emotions and even the way our brains are structured. To what extent do hormones define us?
Seeing with Your Brain. We All Have Our Own Reality | Lecture and conversation with neuroscientist Floris de Lange and philosopher Nina de Boer
To perceive something is a complex interplay of brain processes. Learn from neuroscientist Floris de Lange and philosopher Nina de Boer and discover: is seeing believing, or the other way around?
