Music is one of the defining features of what it means to be a human. Music can inspire us, teach us, heal us and brings us together in powerful ways. But how, and why, are we musical? I will explore the science and evolution behind human musicality by presenting engaging evidence from human brain imaging and animal studies to answer these fundamental questions.Dr. John Rehner Iversen, PhD is a cognitive neuroscientist studying the interactions between music and the brain. He recently joined McMaster University as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behavior after a decade at the University of California San Diego. Iversen (co)directs several studies of the impact of music training on development in childhood and adolescence including the the EARLI project, part of a National Endowment for the Arts Research Laboratory. These projects place the impact of music into a broader neurodevelopmental framework, in which researchers are charting the 'growth curves' of the developing brain to understand how brain development shapes the emerging skills of each individual. After undergraduate studies in Physics at Harvard, he received an MPhil in History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge and a PhD in Speech and Hearing Science from MIT.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

In her talk, Rachel Rich wants you to question what these most innocuous and ubiquitous of household staples are trying to say about you. Rachel decodes cookbooks past and present to reveal their hidden messages and explains why she thinks you’re safe to ignore them.

She is the Co-Editor of Food and History, a member of the scientific council of the IEHCA and is a Fellow of both the Royal Historical Society and the Higher Education Academy.Rachel’s research explores the intersections of food, gender, class, and national identity, with particular attention to women’s roles as cookbook writers and readers.
