TPR Think Science: Listening and The Brain

What does it mean to actively listen? What really happens when we listen to another person? To music? Or even to the sound of silence? Join us at Think Science: Listening and The Brain, August 19, 12:00 p.m. at the Pearl Studio, where researchers will speak about what happens when you stop…and truly listen to the people and world around you.

Think Science gets you in for lunch and will send you on your smarter, more inspired, and ready to share the good news about San Antonio’s role in the scientific developments of the 21st century.

The event itself is free; you can order a boxed lunch for $5.

Dr. Peter Fox is a professor in the UT Health Science Center Department of Medicine and director of its Research Imaging Institute, earned his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine, interned at the Duke University School of Medicine and completed his residency and fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. He was a senior staff scientist at Johns Hopkins University’s Mind/Brain Institute before joining the UT Health Science Center in 1991. Under Dr. Fox’s leadership, the Research Imaging Institute has amassed one of the world’s largest arrays of imaging equipment for research. As such, it is the venue for numerous joint research studies conducted with established scientists throughout Texas and collaborators from as far away as Hong Kong and Beijing.

Additional panelists TBA.
