Dr. Large’s research areas include nonlinear dynamical systems, auditory neuroscience, and music psychology. He uses theoretical modeling in conjunction with behavioral, comparative, neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques to understand how people respond to complex, temporally structured sequences of sound such as music and speech. He and his colleagues have pioneered the idea that attention is a dynamic, and inherently rhythmic process. He has applied these ideas to explain the rhythmic structure of music, and its interaction with brain dynamics. His current research projects include studies of driven nonlinear oscillator networks, nonlinear cochlear models, auditory brainstem neurodynamics, cortical dynamics of attention, perception of rhythm in music and speech, perception of tonality in music, auditory pattern recognition and learning, emotional communication in music, and rhythmic interactions in nonhuman primates.
More Information
Dr. Large directs the Music Dynamics Laboratory at University of Connecticut, where he is a Professor of Psychological Sciences and Professor of Physics. He is Associate Editor at Frontiers in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience and Music Perception and he recently completed a three year term as President of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition. Dr. Large received his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University in 1994, and he did his postdoctoral work at University of Pennsylvania. He has published nearly 100 articles in journals such as Psychological Review, Physica D, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America,Music Perception, and Journal of Computational Neuroscience and he has been awarded numerous patents. He is the recipient of numerous awards including a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and a Fulbright Visiting Chair in the Science and Technology of Music at McGill University.
Dr. Large is also a Founder and Chief Science Officer at Oscillo Biosciences.

Journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at Henry Ford, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day. “Science demands questions and debate, not silence.” Executive Producer, Del Bigtree speaks about his new film “An Inconvenient Study”. Del discusses the controversies surrounding vaccines, including censorship, the lack of scientific evidence supporting vaccine safety, and the implications of a recent study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention.His book “The Hidden Spring” will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.
Professor Mark Solms discusses his lifelong journey into understanding consciousness, influenced by personal experiences and notable figures in psychology and neuroscience. He emphasizes the importance of feelings in consciousness, critiques the DSM and psychiatric practices, and explores the intersection of neuroscience with AI. Solms also shares insights on dreams, psychoanalysis, and the significance of subjective experience in understanding the mind.

A conversation with Stephen Grossberg, whose work on explaining how our brains make our conscious minds has led him to be called the Father of AI and the Newton and Einstein of the Mind.
Dr. Stephen Grossberg discusses his extensive journey into the study of consciousness, neural networks, and the evolution of artificial intelligence. He speaks about the development of adaptive resonance theory, and how these concepts relate to understanding mental disorders. He touches on collective intelligence and the implications of his theories for both human and non-human systems. Dr. Grossberg delves into the complexities of consciousness, creativity, and the interplay between the brain and mind. He speaks about the writing process behind the book 'Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain', and the significance of creativity in understanding consciousness. The conversation also touches on quantum models of consciousness, the concept of qualia, and the limitations of current models in neuroscience. The conversation explores potential breakthroughs in neuroscience and the future of artificial intelligence, emphasizing the importance of funding and innovation in these fields. Dr. Grossberg discusses various themes including the challenges of funding technology and research, the influence of national security on technological advancements, the complexities of intellectual property use in some Large Language Models advanced by AI companies, which he notes are not “language” models at all, and “do not know what they are talking about”, his 2025 article that explains how humans learn large language models that do express meaning, and his soon to be published book called Your Creative Brain and AI: How we learn and consciously experience Art, Music, and Meaning. He reflects on his personal journey, and the current issues facing the scientific enterprise under current Federal leadership.
