This month’s First Friday event at the Museum of Natural History focuses on “Love and Feeling in the Age of Mammals,” which explores the mammalian capacities for empathy and feelings using new neuroscience technologies. The evening will also feature live music from LA bands Castledoor and the Watson Twins, and DJs Small Town Talk.
At 6:30pm, Thomas Lewis, from the Department of Psychiatry, UC San Francisco, will examine how so many of our neural innovations began with the Age of Mammals. With the advent of new technologies in neuroscience that can image the living brain, the ancient aspects of human (and mammalian) nature are beginning to reveal their secrets.
DJs Small Town Talk will be spinning throughout the evening and bands go on at 8:30pm.
