On Thursday May 23rd, scientists who study the brain, along with sound researchers and musicians, will join together in the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) to offer one of the most innovative and exciting shows of recent times. The human brain responds to the melody and rhythm by changing connections between its neurons, and now science and technology allow us to see this process in real time in the show the “Brain on Stage".

During the event, we will present this year's Music Hack Day with focus in Neuroscience and also listen to some of the "Sound Fictions” created by more than 300 young adults in the workshops "Sounds, science and technology" in the frame of the Sons de Barcelona project and follow up the activities that are carried out in the KiiCS European project (Knowledge, Innovation and Incubation in Creation for science) that explores how to encourage innovation and creation by the intersection between art and science.

The event is organized by the Observatori de Comunicació Científica (OCC) from Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in collaboration with Synthetic Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems (SPECS) and the Music Technology Group (MTG) from the same university, Phonos Foundation and Institut Municipal d’Educació de Barcelona (IMEB). The workshops "Sounds, science and technology" have the financial support of Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT).
