Meadows Lecture Theatre, Doorway 4, medical School, Teviot Place More information and to book tickets: http://edin.ac/1TBOp8Y

This 2-day symposium aims to enable interdisciplinary discussion of how mind and brain figure in everyday understandings of ourselves, both historically and in contemporary society. The symposium addresses questions such as: How are mind and brain conceptualized, imagined and quantified in everyday life? How do (neuro)psychological discourses influence understandings of mind and brain outside of expert circles? How do these inform concepts of the self, social practices and social relationships in fields such as education, parenting, mental health and law?
