In reality, it’s far stranger and more fascinating. The brain isn’t one big machine at all, but a collection of quirky specialists—distinct modules, each with its own narrow job and responsibilities.When one of these specialists goes offline due to stroke, accident, or disease, the results can be startling. Some people can no longer recognize faces, even their own. Others lose the ability to feel fear while every other emotion remains intact. Some can’t understand other people’s intentions, while others see their moral compass and personal values radically change.In this engaging talk, neuroscientist Michael Cohen will guide you on a tour of these hidden specialists in your head: the modules that let you recognize a smile, feel empathy, and navigate the social world. By the end, you’ll gain a clearer picture not only of how your brain is organized, but of the fundamental structures that shape your own mind.Michael Cohen is a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at Amherst College and a Research Scientist at MIT.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/somerville/lectures-on-tap-neuroscientist-explains-the-modules-of-the-mind/100002001247641568 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Somerville - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Somerville - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Somerville - **lat**: 42.3808757 - **long**: -71.1002881 - **full address**: Somerville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/df1816bdd2227ec7cfba9a5205a03d065a7f956455e3ab96b71e35b8c40deced-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1791428470 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind" being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind" takes place on Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Tue, 13 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Somerville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind"? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind" is organized by Felecia For The Win. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - "Neuroscientist Explains:The Modules of the Mind"", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/df1816bdd2227ec7cfba9a5205a03d065a7f956455e3ab96b71e35b8c40deced-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1791428470", "startDate": "2026-10-13T18:30:00-04:00", "endDate": "2026-10-13T20:30:00-04:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/somerville/lectures-on-tap-neuroscientist-explains-the-modules-of-the-mind/100002001247641568", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Somerville", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Somerville", "postalCode": "02143", "addressLocality": "Somerville", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.3808757", "longitude": "-71.1002881" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in Boston bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-10-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-10-13T20:30:00-04:00", "validFrom": "2026-10-08", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/somerville/lectures-on-tap-neuroscientist-explains-the-modules-of-the-mind/100002001247641568" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-10-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-10-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/somerville/lectures-on-tap-neuroscientist-explains-the-modules-of-the-mind/100002001247641568", "price": "39.19", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
