Mario Livio

Human Curiosity

Butler University, Reilly Room

Tuesday, February 2, 2016 – 7:30 p.m.

What is it that makes us curious? And is curiosity an innate characteristic or do we learn to be curious? Dr. Livio will discuss the latest findings and results from both psychology and neuroscience. He will also emphasize the role that curiosity plays in science, education, economics, and story-telling (be it in literature, film, conversation),and its importance in the modern world. This speech is an expansion of Dr. Livio’s TED talks.
