🎞️🧠🎞️🧠🎞️🧠🎞️🧠 Thrilled to have co-hosted a podcast episode w/ Jose Cañas-Bajo, exploring the film editing art with a neuroscientific approach -with Mary Sweeney, the brilliant editor behind “The Straight Story” & “Mulholland Dr” ! #FilmEditing #NeuroCinema 🎞️🧠🎞️🧠🎞️🧠🎞️🧠

It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of David Bordwell. Professor Bordwell’s contributions to film theory and history have been instrumental in shaping our understanding of cinema as an art form and storytelling practice.

So sad to hear of David’s passing. David was a good friend, an incredibly welcoming person and a visionary film theorist. He was one of the founding fathers of cognitive film theory and a huge inspiration for my own work Society for Cognitive Studies of the Moving Image. My wishes go out to Kristin and family.

We have a new exciting PhD opportunity in my Physical Cognition lab Birkbeck BabyLab & ToddlerLab, testing the development of problem solving in a Leverhulme-funded project using eye tracking, fNIRS, virtual reality, motion tracking and intelligent toys👉cbcd.bbk.ac.uk/node/430

UAL Creative Computing Institute now has its very own neurocognitive research and knowledge transfer lab -Nerve Lab. It was a privilege to have built and presented the foundation for the mocap and eyetracking demos. The crowd loved it, we loved it, can't wait to see what's next.
