SUMMARY:Dr. Iain McGilchrist: The hemisphere lateralization hypothesis and 
 our approach to basic research
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist\, neuroscientist\, and p
 hilosopher best known for his books “The Master and His Emissary” and 
 “The Matter With Things”. In these works\, he compiles a wide body of 
 research from science\, philosophy and history\, demonstrating that the tw
 o hemispheres of our brain have fundamentally different ways of attending 
 to the world. He discusses the impact of this tension on our cultural evol
 ution\, as well as how it relates to epistemology and metaphysics.\\r\\nIn
  this colloquium\, Dr. McGilchrist will discuss the implications of his la
 teralization hypothesis on our approach to basic research\, particularly i
 n the life sciences. This will be followed by a round table discussion wit
 h Professor Cristina Granziera of the Department of Biomedical Engineering
 \, and Professor Philipp Sterzer at the Psychiatric Hospital UPK.\\r\\nDr.
  McGilchrist will also be speaking in Geneva on May 8th at IdeaSquare (CER
 N) and May 9th at The Fab (the Graduate Institute).
