Press releases

At the Cologne International Forum: SALON on 13 June 2024 at 18:00, C-SEB PI and Global Faculty Member Prof. Nira Liberman will give a public lecutre on “Can Poor Access to Internal States Explain Obsessive-Compulsive Tendencies?”. Some people easily know what they feel, what they like, and what they want. Others, however, find it difficult to access such internal states. Together with Nira Libermann the event will look at obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as an example of this difficulty. For more information and registration: https://uni.koeln/BQZN4
