An exhibition that might be of interest:

BIORHYTHM: MUSIC AND THE BODY

Thumbnail
Gallery hours: 12noon-6pm, Tuesday - Saturday
Tours: 2PM and 4PM, Fridays and Saturdays
Why does a minor chord sound sad? Is there a formula for the perfect hit? Whistling, dancing, finger-snapping, and toe-tapping—what makes us do it? Find out when music and science join forces in an interactive bazaar of beats, sounds, and rhythm in the exhibition BIORHYTHM, created by the Science Gallery and presented at Eyebeam as part of the World Science Festival. Learn what drives sound manipulation and discover how different types of music evoke different emotions. Trace the power of an impactful pop hook in a song, measuring the way our brains and bodies react, down to the responses in our fingertips.
