This is the inaugural event of our new series of shows under the banner 'In Conversation'
To kick things off with a bang we will be inviting to the stage Brighton and Hove’s very own world-renowned neuroscientist Anil Seth, and the ever popular psychologist Sue Blackmore.
Join us for an intimate, insightful and exciting evening of thought-provoking discussion on the applications of consciousness science that will touch upon the topics of controlled hallucinations, out of body experiences, predictive processing, active inference and wherever else the conversation may lead . . .
