"The Human Mind" topic of QU Town and Gown lecture Thursday
Quincy University’s spring 2013 Town and Gown Reading & Lecture Series will resume Thursday, March 21 with “The Human Mind: Lessons from Neurological Patients” presented by Dr. Brian Nolan, Assistant Professor of Psychology. The presentation will begin at 7 p.m. in Room 432 of Francis Hall and is open to the public.
What if you couldn’t recognize your friend’s face anymore? What if you had the strange feeling that your pet dog was replaced by an impostor dog? What if you felt that your limb still existed even after it was amputated? As odd as it may seem, neurological patients (people with brain damage) have experienced these and other strange symptoms. Scientists studying the brain have gained many insights by examining these cases. Dr. Nolan will share many of these strange cases and offer glimpses into the nature of the human mind.
The Town and Gown Reading and Lecture Series was designed to engage the community and university in intellectual discussion. Sponsored by Division of Humanities, the Town and Gown series welcomes visiting experts and members of the Quincy faculty, administration, and student body, to share results of scholarship on a wide variety of topics. For more information, please contact Dr. J.K. Miles at 217-222-8020 or email
