How do our senses deal with uncertain and incomplete information? Why does music sometimes influence our emotions? Dig deeper into these two research questions on February 16 during the Presidential Scholars Research Symposium. Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience Raphael Gerraty and Matthew Sachs will be presenting on their cross-disciplinary research, with discussion from their faculty mentors in psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and music. Before the event, we spoke with each scholar about their work. Read the full article on our website and sign up for the seminar on February 16 at 4:30 PM ET. Free and open to the public; registration required.
