2009 Arts-Science Encounters presents...
Three Ways of Looking at Deception
Tuesday 28th April. 5:30pm. Humanities Research Institute, 34 Gell Street.
An exploration of lying in brain science, Holocaust testimony and philosophy with Dr Paul Faulkner (Philosophy), Professor Sean Spence (Neuroscience), and Professor Sue Vice (English).
Dr Paul Faulkner is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy. His research interests lie in epistemology and in particular the epistemology of testimony. He explores such questions as: 'What is the psychologically correct description of how we respond to testimony? In what ways does believing what someone says introduce problems of trust? Is there anything wrong with lying?' Paul's publications include 'What is Wrong With Lying?' (Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 2007) and 'On Telling and Trusting' (Mind, 2007)
Sean Spence is Professor of General Adult Psychiatry in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Sean and his research team are exploring ways of mapping the neural correlates of deception in the human brain. Neuroimaging can detect differences in brain response ('signatures') when a subject is lying or telling the truth, which may have a practical application in legal cases of possible miscarriage of justice. Sean Spence's work has appeared in Nature, Science, Wired, The Sunday Times, and a 2007 Channel 4 documentary series called 'Lie Lab'.
Sue Vice is Professor of English Literature and one of the foremost critics of Holocaust literature in the UK. Her recent work has focused on false or embellished Holocaust testimony, which includes articles analysing Binjamin Wilkomirski's notorious false testimony 'Fragments' and attempting to account for such texts in literary terms. Sue Vice's publications include Holocaust Fiction (2000) and Children Writing the Holocaust (2004).
