Geek Speak- Chris Hahn: “We’re All Musicians: Exploring the Brain-Music Relationship”

March 21, 2019 @ 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

This Geek Speak will be exploring the connections made between hearing and listening. Earworms, Gestalt theory, and the emotional responses we have to music are all part of the equation. We may even answer the old question “if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?”
