Tenth anniversary symposium of the international laboratory for Brain, Music, and Sound Research
October 21- 23, 2015
Book with abstracts – Program & Schedule
Yes, ten years already… and ten more coming up!
You are cordially invited to join BRAMS co-directors Isabelle Peretz and Robert Zatorre, and their colleagues and students, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the lab.
Over the last decade BRAMS has grown and prospered to become one of the well-recognized groups worldwide for research on music, speech, and human auditory cognitive neuroscience. In this anniversary symposium we have invited several prominent scientists to help us think about where the next ten years of research should be taking us. To that end we will cover novel topics including genetics, education, aging, and social neuroscience.
The anniversary event will also feature a session organized by the Erasmus Mundus program in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience, featuring faculty and student presentations from this network representing ten European countries, Canada, and the USA.
