Faculty ScienceCasts
The LMU Munich ScienceCasts present unusual insights into the world of science. Below is a selection of videos profiling research from members of the Munich Center for Neurosciences - Brain & Mind (MCN) and faculty of the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN).
In addition to the ScienceCasts, video lectures by MCN and GSN members are available (in German) from the LMU Lecture Series "Ecce homo! Menschenbild - Menschenbilder" and "Der Mensch und sein Gehirn", co-organized my MCN and its collaborator MCE - Munich Center for Ethics.
In the ScienceCasts, some of the most renowned academics at LMU Munich present fascinating aspects of their research in a readily understandable way. New research videos are added on a regular basis, see the LMU Munich ScienceCasts page for a full listing, or check on iTunes U.
