The Irving H. Jurow Lecture
at NYU’s College of Arts & Science:
What Art Can Tell Us About the Brain
In conjunction with the exhibition The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal
In this lecture, Margaret S. Livingstone, Takeda Professor of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, will examine how major works of art provide insight into how we see, how artists have figured out how our brains extract relevant information about faces and objects, and why learning disabilities may be associated with artistic talent.
Organized by NYU’s College of Arts & Science and co-sponsored by the Grey Art Gallery.
