Can there be a space for connecting what is imagined and what is real in the operations of the human mind? Is there an interface between the world as known through the knowledge of science and the world as known through the imagined landscapes of fiction?
This panel will discuss the role of the imagination and memory in the making of mind, exploring how literature and the arts have added depth and breadth to our understanding of minds, cultures and societies.
