Music In The Brain: Rhythm in the Brain – 1
Venue: Nortvegia
The Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Music in the Brain (MIB) is an interdisciplinary research center at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, aiming to address the dual questions of how music is processed in the brain. In four brief talks the symposium provides an insight into some of the aspects of the MIB research.
“Rhythm in the Brain”
Why do we move to music and what happens to the brain when we hear that rocking beat? In memory of the late George Martin jazz bassist and neuroscientist Peter Vuust will talk about musical syncopation and groove from the Beatles to Suga Free.
Presented by The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg & SPOT+
