Narrating science in a poetic way, an art? This is definitely one of the goals of the Explorers collective, which specializes in popularizing science and is a fan of knowledge exchange projects at the intersection of art, adventure and culture. Her latest project, Méandres, is a perfect example of thisInsert and Sorbonne University invite you to come and discover during Brain Week 2024.
Méandres, a new documentary web series
Méandres is a documentary web series in four episodes in which the Explorers, accompanied by scientific guests, set out to discover abandoned places in order to analyze the functioning of the mechanisms of our brain. Selective memories and emotions, fear of the dark, beliefs… are among the themes explored in this Good To Know production.
Inserm and the Sorbonne University join forces to offer you an original, immersive experience showing several of these episodes, as well as a musical film concert, to delve together into the heart of the twists and turns of our brain. Then neuroscientific researchers will be present to answer all your questions and give you the keys to understanding this world full of mysteries…
