As part of the “Research Südtirol/Alto Adige” 2019 project “MENS – Medieval Explorations in Neuro-Science (1050–1450): Ontology-Based Keyword Spotting in Manuscript Scans,” a virtual conference is taking place that deals with brain concepts in medieval philosophy, theology, and literature. In the Middle Ages, the study of the anatomy and physiology of the human brain was not limited to medical discourses but was also reflected in treatises on the theory of the soul and epistemology as well as in literary texts dealing with the role of imagination and memory.
In addition, the conference is addressing the finding of brain anatomical and physiological references in medieval manuscripts with the help of artificial intelligence. In the project, hundreds of manuscripts were made searchable using automated handwritten text recognition in order to find keywords from the domain of brain anatomy and physiology.
