In Tel Aviv the mood will be philosophical as two researchers from the Weizmann Institute –\u00a0 Lior Noy of the Department of Molecular Biology and Son Preminger of the Department of Nuclear Biology present: \u201cSo Who\u2019s In There? Brain Research and the Question of Body\/Soul\u201d. Looking at these questions from a scientific perspective, they will present a survey of the ways these questions have been dealt with in the past, and then discuss brain research studies that attempt to explain these issues. A good part of the evening will be devoted to a discussion with the audience. The event will take place at the HEMDA<\/a> Centre for Science Education, 7 HaPardes Street, Tel Aviv at 20:30. Free and open to the public, advance registration is required:\u00a0 03-5210802.\u00a0<\/p>\n
