Tour | Chelsea and the High Line Tour
The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to city markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the city to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Lecture | The Good Listener: Behavioral Neuroscience Considers the Perception of Speech
Our talkative species occupies much of our time each day in conversation. Historical views of this loquaciousness often expressed singular interest in personal motive, asking: What could individuals hope to achieve with so much talk? How do aims shape expressions? It is hardly surprising that such abstract concerns were difficult to satisfy. In our technical era, scrutiny has turned to mechanism, and the psychological focus has been placed on cognitive resources: What must interlocutors know and be able to do in order to converse?
Lecturer Robert Remez is Professor of Psychology. A native New Yorker, he was a Predoctoral Research Trainee at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, and received the doctorate in 1978 from the University of Connecticut.
This lecture is in three parts: Monday November 9, Monday November 16, and Monday November 23.
