Doors open at 6:30 PM - Late-night show style interviews with our host Kirsten (Dr. Kiki) Sanford (This Week in Science) featuring Bay Area scientists: 

1) Dr. Frederic Theunissen on Communication Sound Processing:

You can tell a lot about a person from the way their voice sounds: male or female, rested or tired, young or old. Dr. Frederic Theunissen at UC-Berkeley studies how animals extract information from communication calls.

2) Dr. John Houde on the Role of Auditory Feedback in Speech:

Even when you're speaking a word, your brain is listening in to make sure that word sounds correct. Dr. John Houde at the UCSF Speech Neuroscience Lab studies this process by observing the brain's response to unexpected changes in auditory feedback. 

3) Erin Brandt on Love Songs From a Spider:
