In our university-lecture style Masterclass\, we will explore various ways to help you tolerate\, or even master\, stress-inducing situations.

SUMMARY:UCL Masterclass: Sciences and Social Sciences - Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online \nEvent information: Topic: The Predictive Brain. Presenter: James Kilner. When we are first asked to think about how the brain might be organised to process incoming sensory information from our eyes\, ears and other sensory receptors\, people often conceptualise a chain of serial computations that get more complex as more processing is performed on the sensory signals. However\, it turns out that this model of perception and cognition is quite limited in what types of information can be obtained. In this talk I will propose that we have a ‘predictive brain’ and that what we perceive and infer about the world is actually based on a prediction of what we think the world is like. \nThis event is suitable for: Year 12. \nHow to book a place: All eligible applicants who meet at least one of the shortlisting criteria specified in points 2 to 6 on the Who We Work With webpage will be offered a place on this programme. Applications for our 2023 Masterclasses are now open. Please note\, there is no limit to the number of Masterclasses you can apply to. Deadline: March Taster Sessions: Sunday 26 February 2023. The masterclass information and application form can be found here. \nRecording your attendance on the RO student hub: Please email Ms Vathani Mariampillai at srs.realisingopportunities@ucl.ac.uk to confirm your attendance after the event.

SUMMARY:UCL Masterclass - Sciences and Social Sciences - Law
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online \nEvent information: Topic: When to (dis)obey the law? Presenter: Dr Mohsen al Attar. Law commands obedience. Yet\, what—or who—are we submitting to? To some\, the law is both moral and desirable. We live in complex societies and\, without law\, would descend into chaos. Disobeying the law is thus dysfunctional\, even depraved. Others are less trusting\, they argue that the law restricts the freedoms of certain groups more so than others. Highlighting its control by special interests\, they argue that the law is a valuable weapon in class warfare. In an unequal society\, legal disobedience can sometimes be a form of resistance\, even enlightenment. The above conundrum will inform the Masterclass on the relationship between law and disobedience. I seek to achieve two aims: 1) to encourage you to think of the privileges and disadvantages that laws simultaneously constitute and 2) to stimulate reflections on legal education and its part in advancing the type of society we aim to build. \nThis event is suitable for: Year 12. \nHow to book a place: All eligible applicants who meet at least one of the shortlisting criteria specified in points 2 to 6 on the Who We Work With webpage will be offered a place on this programme. Applications for our 2023 Masterclasses are now open. Please note\, there is no limit to the number of Masterclasses you can apply to. Deadline: March Taster Sessions: Sunday 26 February 2023. The masterclass information and application form can be found here. \nRecording your attendance on the RO student hub: Please email Ms Vathani Mariampillai at srs.realisingopportunities@ucl.ac.uk to confirm your attendance after the event. Please include your full name\, RO ID number\, the date/time and title of the event. \nPlease note that uploading attendance to the RO student hub after the event is a manual process so can take some time – please do not worry about this.
