Molecular and Cell Biology 90E, Section 2
Music, Mind, Brain (1 unit, P/NP)
Senior Lecturer David E. Presti
Wednesday 3:00-4:00, 2030 Valley Life Sciences Building, CCN: 57883

Music has a deep and largely mysterious impact on human behavior. We will engage in exploration of things known and unknown in the relationship of music, the brain, and the human mind–ranging in our discussion from the neuroscience of auditory perception to the roots of music in human culture. Non-science majors are encouraged to enroll.

David Presti has taught neuroscience at UC Berkeley for nearly twenty years. For the past several years, he has also been teaching neuroscience to Tibetan monks in India.
