9.13 The Human Brain

9.13 The Human Brain (Spring 2019, MIT OCW). Instructor: Prof. Nancy Kanwisher. This course surveys the core perceptual and cognitive abilities of the human mind and asks how they are implemented in the brain. Key themes include the representations, development, and degree of functional specificity of these components of mind and brain. The course will take students straight to the cutting edge of the field, empowering them to understand and critically evaluate empirical articles in the current literature. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 15 - Hearing and Speech

Humans use hearing in species-specific ways, for speech and music. Ongoing research is working out the functional organization of these and other human auditory skills.
