DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, November 4\, at 1pm\, we will start a series of 18
  lectures on Music and the Brain. As always\, we start with a half-hour re
 corded lecture\, followed by a half-hour discussion moderated by Dr. Harry
  Seymour. \nMusic is an integral part of humanity. Every culture has musi
 c\, from the largest society to the smallest tribe. Its marvelous range of
  melodies\, themes\, and rhythms taps into something universal. Babies are
  soothed by it. Young adults dance for hours to it. Older adults can reliv
 e their youth with the vivid memories it evokes. Music is part of our most
  important rituals\, including those marking birth\, weddings\, and death.
  And it has been the medium of some of our greatest works of art.\nYet eve
 n though music is intimately woven into the fabric of our lives\, that fac
 t itself remains puzzling\, provoking questions such as: How and why did m
 usical behavior originate? What gives mere tones such a powerful effect on
  our emotions? Are we born with our sense of music\, or do we acquire it?\
 nIn the last 20 years\, researchers have come closer to solving these ridd
 les thanks to cognitive neuroscience\, which integrates the study of human
  mental processes with the study of the brain. This exciting field has not
  only helped us address age-old questions about music\; it also allows us 
 to ask new ones\, like: Do the brains of musicians differ from non-musicia
 ns? Can musical training promote cognitive development? Is there a deep co
 nnection between music and language?\nJoin neuroscientist and professor of
  psychology Dr. Aniruddh Patel to probe one of the mind's most profound my
 steries. Covering the latest research findings - from the origins of music
 's emotional powers to the deficits involved in amusia\, or the inability 
 to hear music - these 18 enthralling lectures will make you think about mu
 sic and your brain in a new way.\nDesigned for music lovers and brain enth
 usiasts at all levels\, Music and the Brain is truly interdisciplinary and
  assumes no prior background in neuroscience or music theory. Here is your
  unrivaled explanation of this marvelous gift.\n\n\nTo join each Tuesday a
