Mental Time Travel: Theme and Variations

What happens when a Psychology Professor and a Choreographer decide to collaborate? Nicola Clayton FRS, Professor of Comparative Cognition and multi-award winning and world renowned choreographer Mark Baldwin OBE will present a talk and interactive demonstration about the subjective experience of remembering. Memories are made with the future in mind and are therefore flexible not fixed, and forward looking not backward looking. Nicky and Mark will explore these concepts about the way in which the mind juxtaposes the past, the present, and the future to explore how we express our thoughts, with and without words, and its implications.
