Rodrigo Quian Quiroga in conversation with Pilar Garavito
What Makes us Human?
Uninorte Barranquilla
Rodrigo Quian Quiroga (Argentina) is a physicist, mathematician and neuroscientist, as well as an authority on the neuronal mechanisms of visual perception and memory. In his latest publication, Cosas que nunca creeríais. De la ciencia ficción a la neurociencia, the author explores the working of the brain. Quian Quiroga is the discoverer of “concept neurones”, sometimes known as “Grandmother cells”, and he investigates neurological advances that, in some cases, are bringing us close to possibilities that, until now, seemed to be from the realm of science fiction. Since 2019 he has been a member of the UK’s Academy of Medical Sciences, and he currently lectures at the Hospital del Mar’s Research Institute in Barcelona. He will offer his conference What makes us Human? In conversation with Pilar Garavito.
