Cognitarium


Cognitarium is a dynamic experiential preview of our early groundbreaking research in multimodal music and cognition. Distilled elements from innovative experiments, meld to create an in-room planetarium for the mind— underscored with selective frequencies, sounds defined by Tod Machover and performed live by cutting-edge double bassist Emilio Guarino.

As we collaborate within the neuroscience "space race," early findings reveal promising ways music-based applications could change the way we maneuver within the word. While learning to communicate with our brains through multisensory platforms, we hope to generate novel approaches to pathologies and illnesses in health and medicine, while broadening preventative, creative, and compositional possibilities.
