Description

How does what we hear change what we see in our minds? Recent research published in Nature suggests that music does far more than influence emotion. It can shape the vividness, content, and meaning of the images we experience in our mind's eye. Join Dr Jon Prince to discover how sound shapes imagination and what this reveals about the way our minds create meaning from the world around us.


About the presenter:

Dr Jon Prince is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Murdoch University, where he researches music cognition and teaches cognitive psychology, sensation and perception. He studied Brain and Cognitive Science at the University of Rochester before completing his MA and PhD at the University of Toronto. He is an elected member of Murdoch University's Academic Council and its Senate. He is also a councillor for the National Tertiary Education Union and enjoys both mountain biking and woodworking.
