Cafe Scientifique – Does a worm have a mind, and is it anything like yours?

Does a worm have a mind, and is it anything like yours? Talk by Professor Netta Cohen, University of Leeds

Netta Cohen is Professor of Complex Systems in the School of Computing at the University of Leeds.

She will talk about her work on the nervous system of a simple animal and how that compares with our brains and the computers we use. Her research interests include computational neuroscience, biorobotics and how the circuitry of an animal brain controls its behaviours.

The Cafe Sci hat will be passed round for donations to cover the cost of the venue.

Cafe Sci Leeds was set up to encourage understanding and debate about topical scientific research and issues in an informal setting. Speakers are invited to present a short talk on an area of science in which they have been involved which is then followed by questions and comments.
