Conference on Music in Lisbon
Dear Colleagues,
In honor of Wagner's centennial, and in collaboration with the faculty
of medicine of the Universidade Nova of Lisbon and the Goethe Institute,
Dr Armando Sena and I have organized a conference on music and
neuroscience in Lisbon on 25 May 2013. For more information please visit

May is a beautiful time of year in Portugal and we have a very nice
program (see below) so I hope to see some of you there. There will be a
poster session as well, so please encourage your students to submit
suitable studies.
Best wishes
Robert
