Nancy Kanwisher, <font class="" face="Arial">MIT</font></div>
<div class="">Public lecture sponsored by the Falmouth
STEM Boosters and the WHOI Information Office</div>
<div class="">Wednesday, August 17</div>
<div class="">7:30 - 8:30 PM </div>

<div class="">Join Dr. Nancy Kanwisher, <font class=""
face="Arial">Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience
at MIT and Investigator at MIT’s McGovern
Institute for Brain Research, as she shares
striking new understandings of the human brain.
Some of these findings were presented in a recent
New York TImes article, “New Ways Into the Brain’s
Music Room.” </font></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Twenty-five years ago with the invention
fMRI it became possible to image neural activity in
the normal human brain. Many regions have been
shown to carry out highly specific mental functions,
like the perception of faces, speech sounds, and
music, and even very abstract mental functions like
understanding a sentence or thinking about another
person’s thoughts. Dr. Kanwisher will discuss some
of the evidence for highly specialized brain
regions, what these findings imply and what they do
not, and what is next. To see Kanwisher's short
talks on the brain, which require no scientific
background, go to:</div>

<div class="">The event is free and open to the
public. Students are welcome and encouraged!
Donations made at the door will benefit the
FalmouthSTEM Boosters, a local non-profit
organization connecting Falmouth Public School
teachers and students with science, technology,
engineering and math resources and opportunities.

Boosters, contact <a moz-do-not-send="true"
