Convergence Initiative

Convergence purpose is to create a connection between different areas of society to make neuroscience research more accessible to the public and to give to our students the opportunity to communicate their research, learn, and acquire a broad perspective from highly skilled artists as well as the public, in the process. From the artist’s perspective, this is a unique opportunity for faculty and students to gain intimate access to an exciting and cutting edge field that seeks to understand the mind and brain. The scientists and artists will share their sophisticated skillsets to teach, push and question each other. The results of the collaboration will benefit both parties as well as society at large.
