Dr. Adrian Owen Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging, Western University

How can we ever know, unequivocally, that another person is aware? Our ability to detect awareness in others is determined, not by whether they are aware or not, but by their ability to communicate that fact through a recognized behavioural response. Dr. Owen will discuss various solutions to this conundrum using functional neuroimaging.

All are welcome. Free admission
