Hi Stephanie -
Thank you for your email -
Please find attached:
I) the Syllabus for the Auditory Neurobiology course (Neurobiology 101) I started at Harvard College and the
Graduate School of Arts & Sciences in 2007. That course was administered by the Biology Dept on the main
campus and was accredited both undergraduate and graduate students; and
2) the Syllabus for the Mind Brain & Behavior course I started at Harvard College circa 1997 that led, in part, to
the Harvard Provost's Award for Educational Innovation. The seminar was initially administered by the
Psychology Dept on the main campus then a few years later by MBB when our Initiative became established as a
Course of Study with the College Registrar. The current version of the course at the Music School has three
"foundation" lectures designed to establish a common fund of knowledge in cognitive neuroscience, auditory
neuroscience, psychoacoustics, and music theory (with an emphasis on research methodologies). We could shape
the first Quarter of the seminar for 50+ students, though I was hoping to do that separately via the Auditory
Neurobiology course, which would cover speech, voice, prosody, and language (and birdsong!) as well as music.
Fingers crossed!
Gratefully,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Rachelle is going to contact Barney to gauge interest in expanding the Music and the Brain course into two
quarters, one being for 50 students and open to PhySci majors. She is also going to talk to her contact in the
Development office here. (Rachelle's husband is a cardiologist who has taught to PhySci majors so she
understands the added value of physician-student contact).
Could you send me your syllabus for the semester-long version of the course that you taught at Harvard?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie - just following up on my email of Aug 16 - should I request a meeting with Rachel and/or
Barney and/or Dean Sork? How urgently do you think I should get the revised "pick three-out-of-four-
