MoMA / SEED Salon

I will be giving a talk at the MoMA / SEED Salon this coming Tuesday, October 30th. The theme of the Salon is "The Mind". The discussion will include recent discoveries in neuron growth, brain functions, interfaces, imaging, etc. Joy Hirsch (fMRI Research Center at Columbia, Director), Kevin Slavin (Area/Code, Director), Liz Gould (Professor, Department of Psychology, Princeton University) and myself are confirmed to speak. The lecture entitled "Natural Artifice" is a humble attempt to relate some of the work of MATERIALECOLOGY to my earlier research at the Department of Physiology in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Medical School under Prof. Rami Rahamimoff.
