Steven Brown

I am the Director of the NeuroArts Lab in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster University in Canada. I obtained my Ph.D. in the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University in New York, and did postdoctoral research at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. My research deals with the neural and evolutionary bases of the arts. I am the author of "The Unification of the Arts" (Oxford University Press) as well as co-editor of "The Origins of Music" (MIT Press) and "Music and Manipulation" (Berghahn Books).
