KILLAM INITIATIVE ON RHYTHM
https://killam-initiative.ca/

UdeM's intersectoral meetings on rhythm, designed jointly by the CinéMédias Laboratory and the Vice-Rector's Office for Research, Discovery, Creation and Innovation, offer multiple highlights where the winners of the 2018 Killam Prize, major institutional players, researchers, students and the general public can exchange and broaden their visions on this fundamental theme in an unprecedented way. Major conferences by the five laureates, round tables, poster sessions, film screenings, opening cocktails are just some of the events that punctuate these days. This formula thus offers opportunities to discuss in a formal or more intimate way the major methodological and structural issues in terms of research, pedagogy and funding that intersectorality represents, in all its relevance and difficulties.

DESCRIPTION

In this conference, Killam laureate Vladimir Hachinski looks at the brain to understand some of the relationships between science and the arts. Amongst other things, he explores how learning music and languages demonstrates the power of the brain to shape cultures and vice versa. He also highlights the important role of REM sleep and brain synchronicity in human health. A question period open to the public closes the conference.
