Linda Douw, from the department of Anatomy and Neurosciences at Amsterdam UMC, shows how central stations are comparable with hubs in the network of our brain and even help us understand Alzheimer’s disease better. And, the station can function as a great decor for taking on a bit of spontaneous field research. Antske Fokkens (VU Faculty of Humanities) explores the prejudices we all have – like all the people we encounter on the train or in a station – and how stereotyping influences the way we communicate and relate to each other.
