The Oslo Virtual Laterality Colloquium

As announced after the last colloquium in June, Laterality Friday is going to continue in autumn 2021. Thanks to the great response from the volunteer presenters, also this term the colloquium covers exciting recent behavioural, neuroimaging, and genetic studies on human and other species.

In keeping with tradition, the colloquium is going to take place the last Friday of every month between 10.00 and 11.00 am (CEST/CET, i.e. Oslo time). Each session entails a ca. 30 minute presentation and sufficient room for interesting discussions. A link to the Zoom meeting will be shared each month via our mailing list. Attendance is free of charge.

Please reserve the dates (listed below) and attend Laterality Friday also in autumn 2021! Feel free to contact René Westerhausen if you would like to join the mailing list  or should you have any questions.

Schedule

At each date the presentations is scheduled to take place between 10.00 and 11.00 CEST/CET (i.e., Oslo time) via Zoom.
