Brain Mechanisms of Navigation in Physical and Cognitive Spaces

The following lectures are presented in the NEUROSCIENCE SYMPOSIUM : BRAIN MECHANISMS OF NAVIGATION IN PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE SPACES at Central European University in August 31, 2017.

This is a special symposium with four outstanding scientist (three Nobel laureates and one Brain Prize winner) who share their broader view on how the brain solves the problem of representing real distances and spaces as well as abstract cognitive spaces and related knowledge by partially similar yet different mechanisms.
