Wednesday 14 October
5.15pm Forman Lecture Theatre
Professor Frank Pollick (University of Glasgow) The brain as it thinks and feels about music
Brain imaging approaches such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are reductionist in explaining how the brain processes a musical performance - different brain regions perform different processing roles. Moving towards a more causal understanding of brain activations, I'll discuss our efforts to tip the balance between cognitive and emotional processing of music that use realtime fMRI neurofeedback based on activity of a particular brain region.
