Heyman Center Workshops | Plastic Neuroscience, Plastic History: Plans and the Structure of Psychologists’ Behavior

The Neuroscience and History Working Group talks foster interdisciplinary conversation about the promises and challenges of contemporary neuroscience. We will explore the historical conditions for the emergence of neuroscience as a discipline, as well as the synergies and tensions between historical and neuroscientific modes of explanation. We welcome scholars, clinicians, students and the interested public.
