Uri Hasson

"Neurocinematics: Where Neuroscience Meets Filmmaking" in Collaboration with Spiral Cinema

Uri Hasson is known for his study of the correlation between eye movements and brain activity. He has his subjects lie in tubes and watch movies, while their eyes are tracked to see which part of the movie they're watching. Then he determines people's visual responses to a) random footage, b) artworks (video art), c) documentaries, d) commercial films, e) Hollywood blockbusters and f) propaganda to see how film makers totally control people's visions.
