Our own Michal has been awarded the prestigious Fulbright-Masaryk award, part of the Fulbright Scholarships program, to spend six months as a visiting scholar at Roger Beaty’s Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity Laboratory at the Centre for Language Science, Penn State University, USA. During this visit he will conduct a project on creativity and the brain. Well done Michal!
And if you are interested in Michal’s work (and you speak Czech!), Michal will give an online talk as part of the Brain Awareness Week on March 21 (11.00-12.00, Central European Time)
Brain Awareness Week (15 – 21 March 2021) is the largest global campaign to raise public awareness about brain research. In Czechia, Brain Awareness Week is co-organized by the Czech Academy of Sciences as a cycle of lectures on the newest brain discoveries. On this occasion, CeLM PhD student Michal Korenar has been selected as a speaker to present the advancements in the field of neuroscience of multilingualism. The presentation titled “Bilingualism: a conflict for which your brain will thank you” will be held in Czech
