SUMMARY:The Psychology of Love
DESCRIPTION:What is Love? How many of us have tried\, in vain\, to love an objectively great person only to have our attention gripped by the swagger or sway of the bad boy or girl? What’s the point of dismissing the billions of others in favor of just one? \n\n\n\n\n\nIt turns out that love may function as a commitment device\, providing a solution for a class of social dilemmas termed commitment problems. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Lawrence Ian Reed\, clinical assistant professor at NYU\, will provide a theoretical framework for love that will answer these questions and others. All to help us all get lucky in love.

SUMMARY:Sarah Woolley: Singing in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:The young brain learning to communicate with hearing and voice builds auditory and vocal motor circuits that are functionally coupled to perceive and produce particular sounds. Sarah Woolley has helped decode how the brain interprets vocalizations — and what happens during development when those sounds are disrupted. Her research could shed important light on developmental disorders associated with speech and communication. In this conversation\, Dr. Woolley will discuss progress using songbirds to understand how early social experience tunes the auditory system for vocal communication. \nEvent Speaker:\nSarah Woolley\, PhD is Professor and former Chair in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University. She directs the Communication Neuroscience Laboratory in the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and is a member of the Kavli Institute for Brain Science.
