Today’s Granoff Music Center Colloquium at Tufts University features Dr. Anthony Brandt of Rice University speaking on “Exploring the Mind Through Music: Combining Artistic Performance and Scientific Experiment.” Thanks to advances in mobile brain-body imaging (MoBI), music and other art forms now have the potential to help scientists explore the neural underpinnings of human cognition and our social interactions in real-world conditions. Brandt, professor and chair of Composition & Music Theory at Rice’s Shepherd School of Music, will discuss several collaborations in which artistic performances are combined with MoBI experiments to investigate inter- and intra-brain synchrony and the brain dynamics of learning and creativity. Free to the public with no tickets required.
