Lectures on Tap: Die Neurowissenschaft des Hörens in NYC

Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in NYC bars. Location: Exact address given in confirmation email Lecture: "The Neuroscience of Auditory Perception" Speaker: Dr. Pascal Wallisch, PhD Join us for a fascinating evening as Prof. Dr. Pascal Wallisch unpacks how the brain transforms sound waves into the rich world of auditory experience. We will explore how hearing works at a neural level, how it enables us to understand speech, and why the internet was divided over whether a single audio clip said “Laurel” or “Yanny.” Dr. Wallisch will explain how auditory perception connects with our broader perceptual system, revealing why two people can listen to the same sound and yet perceive it differently. You’ll gain insight into how the brain resolves ambiguity, integrates context, and constructs the reality we think we simply “hear.” Prof. Dr. Pascal Wallisch is Clinical Professor of Data Science, Psychology, and Neuroscience at NYU Arts & Science and the most decorated educator at NYU. He has received a distinguished teaching award, two Golden Dozen awards, one TeachTech award, and five teaching innovation awards. Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap!
