The Brain and Behavior Initiative is excited to announce a new virtual seminar series tailormade for the coming months: BBI QED (Quarantine EDucation) Talks, a "TED"-style seminar series for scholars and non-experts alike that takes place Mondays at 4PM.
Our next event, "This Is Your Brain on Green Buildings," features Assoc. Prof. Edward Bernat (PSYC) and Asst. Prof. Ming Hu (ARCH) and will be held on Monday, May 4 at 4PM. Their BBI-funded collaboration uses electroencephalography and virtual reality to assess the human brain's responses to green architecture. Together, they seek to quantify the “soft” benefits of building design in order to intervene in the pre-build stage. In February, the Society for Women Engineers magazine profiled the research of Profs. Bernat and Hu.
If you have any questions for Prof. Bernat and Hu in advance of their talk, please use the following Google form to submit these in advance.
About:
QED Talks are meant to bring us together during this time when we are separated physically: a series of short, topically-diverse presentations followed by a Q&A, the QED Talks intend to educate through inquiry and endeavor to apply research about the brain and its behavioral outputs to your everyday life.
