Abstract: The virtual space of the internet, social media or games, in which we spend more and more time, is a challenge for our brains. How does the brain function in cyberspace? What changes does cyberspace cause in the brain and what do they depend on? Does it have a positive or negative impact on the functioning of various brain processes? Is it an opportunity or a threat to our brain? During this lecture, which attempts to answer these and other questions, we will delve into the brain immersed in cyberspace.
