These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT). </p> <p>NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain’s natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat. </p> Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:56:55 +0000 admin 5953 at /sustainability Hughlings Jackson Lecture 2025: The Basal Ganglia and the Motivation to Act /sustainability/channels/event/hughlings-jackson-lecture-2025-basal-ganglia-and-motivation-act-362529 <p>Established in 1935, the Hughlings Jackson Lecture is The Neuro’s premier scientific lecture.

With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions. </p> Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:09:16 +0000 admin 5965 at /sustainability 2025 Faculty of Science Excellence Award winners announced /sustainability/channels/news/2025-faculty-science-excellence-award-winners-announced-365506 <p>Danielle Vlaho (Academic Associate), Joe Iantomasi (Clerical), Luisa Sabaz (Management), and Badawy Sha’ath (Technical) have been named recipients of the Faculty of Science Excellence Awards.  </p> <p>These awards, announced at the Faculty of Science Council meeting on May 20th, recognize the outstanding contributions made by members of the Faculty’s administrative and support staff during the 2024-2025 academic year.  </p> <p>Read below the citations prepared by the Faculty of Science Excellence Awards Committee. </p> Fri, 23 May 2025 15:09:58 +0000 admin 5944 at /sustainability Nuit Blanche returns to the Redpath Museum /sustainability/channels/news/nuit-blanche-returns-redpath-museum-364138 <p>On March 1, Nuit blanche took over Montréal for its 22nd edition.
