Subject: From: Warren Brodsky <wbrodsky(at)BGUMAIL.BGU.AC.IL> Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 18:52:59 +0300Daer List, I am interested in organizing a Symposia on the role and contribution of the Music Sciences to the study of human behavior.

If any of the members on this list are interested in participating in such as Symposium, please contact Dr. Warren Brodsky (wbrodsky(at)bgumail.bgu.ac.il) as soon as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Departments of Psychology in the Universities in Israel, in conjunction with the Israeli Psychological Association, will be hosting an International Conference on Psychology at the University of Haifa, from June 12-14, 2000.
