What is the connection between language and movement? Join a broad and distinguished panel on an exploration of how striking parallels between bird and human brains are providing sharp new insights into how we acquire language and the links between hearing and movement. <br /> <br /> This event was moderated by Faith Salie and features author Jonathan Rosen; neurobiologist Erich Jarvis; scientist and noted bird researcher Irene Pepperberg; professor of comparative cognition at Cambridge University, Nicola Clayton; Head of the Laboratory of Animal Behavior at CUNY, Ofer Tchernichovski; and David Rothenberg, professor of philosophy and music at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.<br /> <br /> "Avian Einsteins" also features a special appearance by Snowball, the famous dancing cockatoo, and owner, Irena Schulz.<br /> <br /> This event took place on June 13, 2009 in the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University.
