Syntax/Synapse: How We See with Joyce Carol Oates and Charles Gross
Our Syntax/Synapse series continued with National Book Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates (A Book of American Martyrs) and her husband, the neuroscientist and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Princeton Charles Gross (Brain, Vision, Memory: Tales in the History of Neuroscience). They discussed how the brain perceives and interprets what we see, and how writers interpret their visual sense. Syntax/Synapse is a series of programs and essays exploring the intersections between literature and neuroscience, presented in partnership with the Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab and YHouse. Syntax/Synapse is generously funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
