Welcome to SILVER ROOMS, a new initiative from IIIT Hyderabad.
Silver Rooms is a monthly learning experience for curious people aged 50+, bringing together interesting questions, new perspectives and different ways of learning.
Learn. Understand. Explore.
Learn something useful. Understand yourself better. Or simply explore a question because you’re curious.
OUR FIRST SESSION will focus on the well-being of the body, mind, cognition, and spirit as we age.
Topic: Senses & Self
The listening brain: How sound shapes the brain and mind shapes sound
