Vídeo de divulgação do projeto Neurosessão da UFGD e do espaço coletivo Casa dos Ventos, onde ele acontece. Elaboração: Elisabete Castelon Konkiewitz, Fabian…
Introduction: The cinema used as a teaching tool has been used as a pedagogical approach,
since it is a dynamic, flexible and pleasant way to transmit knowledge and awaken interest to investigate the
various issues. Through cinema, abstract themes can be explored in an engaging way. The cinema
as a tool lends itself particularly to the learning of all disciplines that are dedicated to the study of human
behavior, which converge in the neurosciences.

Objectives: The project aims to stimulate cross-disciplinary discussion on human behavior and emotions, based on the discussion of pre-selected
movies watched weekly by a group
movies watched weekly by a group
Material and Methods: The activities are developed weekly in an
academic field (usually in the FADIR auditorium) with movies that have been acquired with private funds
(unbound from the UFGD). The sessions will be supervised by the coordinator Dr. Elisabete Castelon
Konkiewitz and assisted by doctors and professionals invited to assist and will guide the discussions that
will start at the end of the movie. In each session an academic is responsible for archiving the issues
discussed and during the next week they have to elaborate a review based on the watched movie, the
discussions and also in what has been seen in the classroom or teaching materials.

Results Among the
depicted themes we mention in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” by Michel Gondry, the formation
of memories, its importance in the personality formation and the tendency to treat forgetfulness as an
escape valve for everyday problems and its major flaw . In “The music never stopped” by Jim Kohlberg,
the discussion explored music processing in the brain, its impact on the construction and consolidation of
new memories and their use as therapy (music therapy) in cases of amnesia seeking greater recovery of
lost memories. In “Fight Club” by David Fincher, the group studied the need for man to form social groups of
prehistoric times to the present day, the imposition of the stronger over the weaker and multiple
personality disorder.

Discussion and Conclusion: This teaching project aims to contribute to a
comprehensive and reflective training of scholars from different disciplines, in relation to human
behavior, using movies to underpin the discussions. In this sense, the project has opened an
interdisciplinary forum for dialogue at UFGD that, in an informal academic environment, favors the
construction of a different and more comprehensive knowledge, while providing deeper opportunities in
specific subjects through the materials exchange and information between attendees.
