The latest instalment of the ever-popular Salon series – the ‘night out for your brain’ – is back at The Crown Hotel, Harrogate, on Thursday 24 September, with three more thought-provoking speakers who will look at how our brains shape the way we imagine, believe and understand the world around us. Drawing on psychology, folklore, history and anthropology, Deborah will unpack our enduring fascination with ghosts, vampires, and the unexplained, revealing what these beliefs can tell us about ourselves. Joining her is neuroscientist Professor Adam Zeman, who delves into the strange and extraordinary world of imagination. Completing the trio of special guests at this latest Salon event, hosted by TV producer and presenter Natasha Knight, is psychologist Dr Madeleine Pownall. Based at the University of Leeds, she will uncover the forgotten women who helped shape modern psychology, revealing how their pioneering ideas transformed our understanding of the human mind.
