The Brain on Music - An evening with the Provost
January 21, 2004
The mind has an extraordinary ability to adapt to its environment. Music gives us a window to explore this fascinating frontier.
- Jamshed BharuchaTufts Provost and Senior Vice President
When we hear music, what happens in the brain? Do culture and environment play an influence? Tufts Provost and Senior Vice President Jamshed Bharucha, a respected scholar in cognitive science and neuroscience and gifted violinist, has some answers to these questions and other mysteries surrounding the workings of the human brain. This spring Bharucha continues his visits to regional alumni chapters with a series of receptions and "mini seminars" where he'll share findings from his pioneering inquiries into "the brain on music" as well as updates on research innovations at Tufts.
For the last two academic years, Tufts University and the Office of Alumni Relations have partnered with regional alumni chapters to bring President Lawrence S. Bacow and former Provost, Sol Gittleman, to local gatherings across the country.
This year, Tufts is pleased to continue this tradition of annual University speakers by highlighting Provost Bharucha. Bharucha, too, is looking forward to this year's visits. "I am delighted to have the opportunity to get to know Tufts alumni, friends and parents, and to share with them my vision for the University," adds Bharucha.
Invitations for the spring receptions will be mailed to all alumni in the areas listed above. Update your address in the Tufts online community to be sure you're on the mailing list. Keep an eye on the TUAA chapter calendar for further details and updates. For more information contact your local chapter leader listed above or contact Gretchen Dobson, in the office of alumni relations at gretchen.dobson@tufts.edu or at 1-800-THE-ALUM (1-800-843-2586).
The Provost has already visited 11 cities as part of the Brain on Music fall and winter schedule.
