Of Zombies and Brains: The Life of a Neuroscientist

Discussion with Dr. Timothy Verstynen, assistant professor in Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Psychology and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition.

Using real neuroscience, he will explain how the behavior of horror-movie zombies can be understood as a series of neurological impairments. His approach to the brain's complexities helps make neuroscience more accessible to nerds and generalists alike.
