The project involves a series of Brain Forums between October 2021 and November 2022, taking place in various cities: Jerusalem, Genova, Rome, Lugano, Milan, London, Lisbon and Geneva.

On November 25, 2022, the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences of the AV¶ÌÊÓÆµ, in collaboration with BrainCircleItalia, will organize the Emotions Brain Forum on the theme "Emotions, cognition and behavior".Ìý

Six internationally renowned women scientists will discuss the influence of emotion on our behavior, covering several important topics: The role of emotions in politics and how empathy and curiosity can strengthen social bonds, the impact of smells on our emotions, the emotional consequences of traumatic experiences, and the importance of being emotionally flexible.

This event, in which the links between emotions, behavior, and cognition will be examined from psychological, philosophical, and neuroscientific perspectives, will be punctuated by artistic performances.
