Inside Minds
What we do
In Inside Minds, we turn cutting-edge brain science into screen based experiences—across species, formats, and disciplines.
Either through films, panels or digital media, we partner with neuroscientists and animal behaviorists and invite people to explore how minds work—not only human minds, but those of penguins, naked mole rats, octopuses, and insects. By comparing diverse neural architectures and cognitive abilities, we challenge what we think we know about intelligence, memory, perception, and even consciousness.
These events mix scientific visualizations, tactile models, live data, and storytelling, offering hands-on ways to grasp abstract concepts:
– How do penguins navigate thousands of kilometers without a map—or a cortex?
– What can naked mole rats teach us about pain and longevity?
– Do insects decide, or just react?
– What do neurotechnologies mean for the human mind?
Each encounter is designed to spark wonder and inquiry—helping people not just learn about the brain, but reflect on what it means to have one.
