Monday Talk: 20 November 2017
(Doors open at 6:15 - Event from 7:00 to 8:15 pm)
Title: The Ultimate Thinking Machine: the Human Brain
Speaker: Dr. Georges Haddad
Language: English
Profile
The talk will provide a succinct FUN account of the organ that came to represent not only what is to be human but, now that death has been equated with brain death, also what is to be alive. We will review anatomy, physiology and specially function of this most mysterious organ: the ultimate thinking tank!
Dr. Georges Haddad
Dr. Georges Haddad is a practicing neurosurgeon with an extremely wide array of eclectic interests including physics, music, philosophy and art. As may be surmised, he is captivated by the brain and loves to share his fascination with the public at large.
Dr. Haddad has given two previous Music Club events at Karaz w Laimoon: Bach's St. Matthew Passion and Bach's Instrumental Works - Fugues and Beyond.
