The Neuroscience of Tarot - Book Launch

Art Science proudly features the book launch of "The Neuroscience of Tarot" by our very own Prof. Siddharth Ramakrishnan. Mixing Art, Science and Mysticism, the book moves from how we perceive images, form associations and metaphors, make intuitive leaps and gain insight. In this interactive workshop, Prof. Ramakrishnan will use brain maps and art to guide you through the neuroscience of imagery (using Tarot images as a tool). Talk, workshop and book signing.
