Sensorimotor integration: Embodiment in movement, music and speech

Friday, February 13, 2015
Music Building (New) Room A-832, 527 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 1E3, CA
Price: 
Free

Joint workshop organized by the Centre for Interdisciplinary research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) and the Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM), Ï㽶ÊÓƵ. The workshop focuses on the importance of body movement and its concomitant processes of sensorimotor integration in music and speech. It explores a large range of movements and movement related processes, such as music instrument motor performance, postural sway, movement planning, as well as breathing, and how these affect music performance or speech production.
