Pablo Barrecheguren is a multidisciplinary expert in scientific communication. On an audiovisual level, he did the master’s degree “Science Media Production” from Imperial College London, runs the dissemination channel “Neurocosas” and on two occasions has obtained public funding from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) to carry out projects Outreach audiovisuals with Very Interesting: Neurocosas (2017) and Neuropíldoras (2018).
He also works on radio and as a science stand-alone writer on Big Van Ciencia. He is co-author of five popular science books, author of a novel and collaborates in written media such as Materia (elPaís), McGraw-Hill, Jot Down or Principia.
“The mind tends to make memories and also to distort our memory. Every time we remember, it is not like picking up a book and rereading the words, but rather it is more like writing it again,” Barrecheguren explained.
Along with his talk at Homo Curiosus, the following documentary has been screened:
Our true sixth sense
Our sixth sense has always been a kind of fantasy, a supernatural intuition or something related to the power of the mind. But the truth is that, apart from the five already known, there is another hidden meaning, often ignored by all. It is proprioception, the sense that allows us to move, maintain balance, write or catch a moving object. How is this sixth sense really organized? How does it evolve during our existence? Is it possible to train it? With the help of the spectacular choreographies of the dancers of the Yoann Bourgeois company, we embarked on a scientific investigation to discover the characteristics of this little-known sense, its capabilities and the way it works in our body.
