Focusing on the fixed internal boundaries of a filmstrip, these classic

frequencies with which these collisions can occur, and their effect on
our nervous system. Guest speaker: Professor Satoru Suzuki,

Neuroscience.
WARNING: These films contain flickering and strobing effects. People
afflicted with photosensitive epilepsy may be at risk. There will be a
5 minute break between each film to allow the viewers to rest their
eyes.

University, 40 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston, IL 60208.
