Can you read my mind?
The Scientific Café with Dr. Louisa Kulke
Monday, 4th July 2016, 12:30 pm
The event is open for everyone interested!
As humans we are pretty good at telling what other people think and predicting what they will do next. If your partner reaches out his arm over the breakfast table you know that he wants to get the butter rather than to exercise his biceps. Knowing what others want helps us cope in everyday life: we know when other people are in need of help and we know when somebody is going to get aggressive so we can run away in time. But do we do this implicitly, without even thinking about it? Or is predicting what other people will do actually a complicated mental exercise?
This talk will summarize facts from recent research to shed light on how we read other people's minds.
