"Human Brains" is the result of a complex research conducted by Fondazione 
Prada in collaboration with a scientific board chaired by neurologist Giancarlo 
Comi and composed of researchers, physicians, psychologists, linguists, 
philosophers, popularizers and curators, such as Jubin Abutalebi, Massimo 
Cacciari, Viviana Kasam, Udo Kittelmann, Letizia Leocani, Andrea Moro and 
Daniela Perani. This project on science is a true challenge for a cultural 
institution like Fondazione Prada. The dialogue embodied by "Human Brains" 
underlines the importance of cooperation in order to give value and disseminate 
meaningful studies and practices for our present.

"Conversations" is an innovative format for in-depth analysis, communication 
and popularization addressed to a heterogeneous and international public 
composed of students, researchers, and people of all ages and backgrounds 
interested in neurosciences and brain studies in general.

Each conversation will consist of a 40-minute online debate in which two 
prestigious researchers will dialogue with each other via live streaming on a 
specific topic, coordinated by a moderator. Anatomist, author and broadcaster 
Alice Roberts will take up the role for the first 6 events.
