Mind Myths

MIT Museum

Join us for an evening of short presentations and fast-paced, conversations about the mind. Leading researchers and fellow brain enthusiasts will share insights and bust a few long-standing myths. Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Will playing Mozart to babies make them smarter? Find out in a fun night of speed-geeking.
This event is 21+ and the fee includes one complimentary drink.  Snacks and a cash bar will be available.
