A series of six programmes on our present knowledge
3: Mathematics or Experiments by PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER ZEEMAN Warwick University, and DR. GILES BRINDLEY
Cambridge University
Christopher Zeeman is a topologist —a mathematician with a special interest in the geometry of many-dimensional spaces. Over the last few years he has been using topology in a theoretical study of the brain's activities. Dr. Brindley on the other hand is a neurophysiologist, and his study of the brain is largely experimental. These two different approaches to the problem of understanding how the brain works are the basis of tonight's discussions.

The second of two talks by Paul Mayersberg on the role of genre in the cinema
Mr. Mayersberg argues that the director's, and the screen-writer's. exploitation of the ' fantasy of power '-the audience's need for a sense of dominahon-can be a spur to creative achievement. Ha believes that this need found its satisfaction in the early sixties in a new American film genre, the political movie.
