Music on the Brain

This special edition of Music on the Brain will take place in the Kavli Auditorium of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center.

Join us for an insightful conversation about neurodiversity. We’ll hear from two researchers who study the mind and who themselves perceive the world in an unconventional way. What are the challenges and advantages of being neurodivergent? We’ll explore the deeply personal and unique ways that people experience the world and music.

Jazz pianist/composer Kelly Green leads an evening of jazz music and conversation with Dr. Sandra Romero Pinto, Alan Kanzer Postdoctoral Fellow at the Zuckerman Institute, and Emaad Razzak, psychology postbaccalaureate student at Columbia University.

Music on the Brain is a collaboration between the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute.
