iCal calendarthe 3rd International Baltic NeuroCine Conference will take place on the 24th and 25th of April at Tallinn University.
The conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of filmmakers, artistic researchers, film scholars, cognitive scientists, and anyone else who is interested. The topics of discussion will include:
- How tacit skills and experiential heuristics are reflected in the professional film practices
- How expertise can be observed in verbal accounts, actions, and psychophysiology
- To what extent such insights may be generalized across other practical domains of expertise, for example, simulated situations in education and healthcare.
Attendance is free of charge. During the conference days, complimentary lunch, snacks, and coffee will also be provided.
