Cracking the kinematic code The way we reach for objects, manipulate them, and hand them to others provides a rich window into our mental states. Our actions do not merely implement motor plans; they carry information about ongoing cognitive and decision processes: what we want and how much we want it, what we fear, what we expect, and what we plan to do next. In this talk, I will present a framework for determining whether and how individuals access this infor-mation to predict others’ behaviour. Invited by: Heed/SeegelkeHS 42410:15 o’clock

Wired to Adapt: Brain Plasticity, Prediction, and the Aging Mind The human brain continuously reshapes its structure and function in response to experience, learning, and aging. This talk presents converging evidence from EEG, ERP, and structural MRI to reveal how the brain sustains cognitive resilience across the lifespan. I will demon-strate how prediction shapes the brain’s encoding of statistical regularities, with neural sig-natures such as the N300 and beta oscillations reflecting the precision of learned temporal patterns. I will further show how hemispheric asymmetries underpin semantic and language processing, and how these finely tuned mechanisms are challenged by the aging brain. Crit-ically, structural MRI evidence reveals that multilingual experience preserves gray matter integrity in the left anterior temporal lobe, reinforcing social semantic processing and buff-ering against loneliness in aging populations. Together, these findings position cognitive reserve as a dynamic, experience-driven capacity rooted in the brain’s remarkable adaptive potential. Invited by: Weisz/ChanHS 42414:00 o’clock

Summer School: The Body in Religion | Embodiment, Practice, and Identity

3–7 August 2026 | Presence: The summer school “The Body in Religion: Embodiment, Practice, and Identity” in Salzburg brings together students and researchers from Nairobi, Haifa, Salzburg, Seoul (Dongguk), Yogyakarta (UGM), Varanasi (BHU) and Bologna to explore, at the intersection of theory and practice, how bodies shape religious life and identity – and are shaped by them.
