Exploratory Seminar on the connections between music and the heart
Organized by Elaine Chew, PI of ERC Project COSMOS at the CNRS – UMR9912/STMS (IRCAM), and Pier Lambiase, Professor of Cardiology at UCL/Barts Heart Centre, this seminar at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study | Harvard explores the connections between music and the heart. The seminar themes include heart-brain, music-brain, and music-heart-brain interactions, and commonalities in rhythm representation in music and heart signals.
The seminar brings together a unique combination of musicians/composers/artists, psychologists/neuroscientists, computer scientists, and medics/physiologist/cardiologist for arts-science, academic-clinical cross-disciplinary exchange to improve the understanding of music and the heart.
