What makes meaning of “now” (symposium)
Posted in RESEARCH
How is our “now” and its value constructed in the brain? Presentations from three cognitive neuroscientists working on this issue in different domains, namely, perception, memory and social cognition, were followed by questions from two psychologists to raise integrative discussion in a symposium in the 83rd annual meeting of the Japanese Psychological Association (Ritsumeikan University, Osaka). Demonstration of the feasibility of such integrative discussion promised its future contribution to various social issues (IT, aging, change in group consciousness, etc.).(Sugiura)
