Mapping as Knowing Lecture Series talk by Mariano Sigman

Mariano Sigman is one of the most outstanding neuroscientists in the world, with over 150 publications in the most prestigious scientific journals. He is also passionate about experimentation and has worked with magicians, chess masters, musicians, athletes, and visual artists to bring his knowledge of neuroscience to different aspects of human culture and apply it in different contexts. In his conferences, he teaches how the mind works and what lessons we can learn about decision making, leadership, team management, personal development, and creative skills; his presentations always achieve a high level of participation from the audience through experiments and games.

He obtained his degree in physics from the University of Buenos Aires, a PhD in neuroscience in New York; and he did post-doctoral work in cognitive science at the College de France (Paris). In 2016, he was awarded the Pio XI Medal, from the Pontifical Academy of Science, one of the most prestigious prizes in science (shared among others with Stephen Hawking, and several Nobel prize winners). He has also developed an extensive career in popularizing science, which includes TV programs and hundreds of articles published in different news outlets. He is also the author of the bestseller The Secret Life of the Mind.
