CRASSH | Rhythmicity - Cambridge LASER talks

The Cambridge LASER talks (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendez-vous) questions the separation and propagation of art and science as distinct categories of knowing and being. We ask: What is creativity in science and the arts? What is experimental practice in art, science, or philosophy? Where do scientific and artistic attitudes, inquiries, methods overlap? How do they differ and complement each other? Can such understanding help shape our technological, urban, economic, and environmental futures for an ecologically and socially sustainable life and wellbeing?
Rhythmicity
One of the fundamental processes of all living organisms is ‘rhythmicity’. Rhythmicity as synchronisation, resonance or entrainment, regulates functions and interactions with other humans and with our environment, and is pivotal to our well-being.
How do our neurial and biological oscillations engage us and facilitate our interactions with each other and our environment? What are the consequences of their misalignment and their links to mental and physical health? How are humans impacting the rhythms of nature? How is technology affecting our rhythms of connection?
In this event, which forms the first in a series on this theme, we brought together panelists from music and technology, music psychology and music neuroscience to discuss such questions.
