About the conference
The conference is dedicated to the most wonderful creation of nature, the human brain. Some of the enigmas of perception will be presented, such as hallucinations at the beginning and end of sleep, but also associations that turn the unreal into reality. Furthermore, the conference will try to unveil the secrets of deciphering physiognomies and the scholarly memory of people with reduced intelligence. Jean-Jacques Askenasy
