Motto:The world is like a mirror: Frown at it and it frowns at you; smile, and it smiles too.
Imogen Lily Morgan, Ph.D., is a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Science at the University of Sydney. She authored "A Symphony in Your Mind: Rethinking Neural Communication," which suggests that viewing the brain's operations through the lens of an orchestra can enhance our comprehension of neural activity and cognitive processes.
Morgan's work delves into the intricacies of neural ensembles and explores how these assemblies influence perception, particularly in music and visual arts. Her research also investigates the interplay between creativity and neuroplasticity, uncovering how artistic endeavors can reshape the brain's structure and function. Imogen completed her BA in Music Theory from the University of Melbourne before earning her Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the Australian National University, where she was awarded a prestigious APA scholarship.
She has pursued postdoctoral research in Neuroaesthetics at Monash University and in Cognitive Psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Beyond her academic pursuits, Imogen has a passion for integrating science with art, leading workshops on neuroaesthetics and the impact of artistic experiences on brain health.
Morgan is actively involved in the scientific community, serving as a reviewer for the journal Perception & Psychophysics and having guest-edited special issues for both Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications and the Journal of Creative Behavior. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between the sciences and humanities, fostering a deeper understanding of human cognition and experience.
On a crisp autumn morning in March 2024, Imogen stood before a packed auditorium at the University of Sydney, ready to present her latest findings on the relationship between musical engagement and neural plasticity. The event marked a significant milestone in her career, highlighting her commitment to advancing knowledge in the field of cognitive science.
