About Program







This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the General Public and Students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.






How does the brain try to make sense of the world, and just what does that have to do with the fake news and misinformation that surrounds us all? We’ll talk about some of the famous case histories in neuroscience, and what we learned about the brain from them. We’ll conclude with some of the current unknowns in brain research, and how scientists are pursuing these questions.

இந்த உரையில், மூளை எவ்வாறு உலகைப் புரிந்துகொள்ள முயற்சிக்கிறது, அது நம் அனைவரையும் சுற்றியுள்ள போலி செய்திகளுக்கும் தவறான தகவலுக்கும் என்ன சம்பந்தம்? நரம்பியல் அறிவியலில் பிரபலமான சில நோய் விளக்க குறிப்புகள் மற்றும் அவற்றிலிருந்து மூளை பற்றி நாம் கற்றுக்கொண்டவற்றைப் பற்றி விவாதிப்போம். மூளை ஆராய்ச்சியில் தற்போது அறியப்படாத சிலவற்றையும், விஞ்ஞானிகள் இந்த கேள்விகளை எவ்வாறு தொடர்கிறார்கள் என்பதையும் நாம் அறிந்து கொள்ளலாம்.
