Shakespeare as Observer and Psychologist – Professor Paul Matthews

Professor Paul Matthews focuses on some of the questions that Shakespeare was asking about the mind, and how the same sorts of issues are approached now by neuroscientists. In this talk, Paul looks at which areas of the brain are activated when we encounter imagery or a functional shift, and discusses whether it is processed in a separate space or if we experience something akin to the events that the words are describing. Paul is a Fellow by Special Election at St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford; and the Edmond and Lily Safra Chair and Head of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London. This is the second in a series of five talks from an interdisciplinary event held by the St Edmund Hall Centre for the Creative Brain in Oxford on 26 November 2016. The speakers interpret the theme of ‘Shakespeare and the Brain’ in various ways, examining it from the perspective of literature scholars, neuroscientists and actors. All the talks are aimed at a non-specialist audience.
