New exhibition, Mind/Matter: The Neuroscience of Perception, Attention, and Memory’ at Yale Peabody
December 16, 2024
The ability to remember a loved one, perceive a beautiful sunrise, or read these words resides within a three-pound organ in your skull. The brain is the center of our humanity, the machine that powers every human endeavor, accomplishment, and feeling. And yet, how it works remains one of the greatest mysteries of science.
“Mind/Matter: The Neuroscience of Perception, Attention, and Memory,” the first temporary exhibition at the newly reopened Yale Peabody Museum, explores the wonders of human cognition by taking visitors on a journey through the historical and modern science of the brain. Visitors will learn how the brain is studied, what it is made of, how it builds our reality, and how discoveries about it are transforming our lives.
The exhibition, which opened on December 7, 2024, was created in partnership with faculty from the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University, whose state-of-the-art research seeks to understand human cognition.
