4. Who is the Master Puppeteer? Find out on Monday, March 14

Your favorite quarterback makes a miracle throw while dodging a 300-pound lineman-is the play's success due to pure athletic skill? Good luck? Or could the quarterback's subconscious memory be controlling the play? Daniel Wolpert, Ph.D., Professor of Motor Neuroscience and Co-Director of the Institute of Movement Neuroscience, University College London, will explain just how the brain controls motor performance and why computers will never be able to compete with human dexterity.
Join us for "The Master Puppeteer: How the Brain Controls the Body," on Monday, March 14 at 4:30 p.m. in the Staller Center for the Arts.
The lecture is free and intended for a general audience. A reception will follow the talk.
