Open to the PublicDavid Merrill Guest Lecture
Date:Mon, 11/09/2009 - 10:00amLocation:CCRMA classroomEvent Type:Guest LectureImagine overturning a container of nuts and bolts, then looking through the resulting pile for a particular item. Or spreading photographs out on a tabletop and then beginning to sort them into piles. During these activities we interact with large numbers of small objects at the same time, and they utilize all of our fingers and both hands together. We humans are skilled at using our hands in these ways, and can effortlessly sift and sort - focusing on our higher level goals rather than the items themselves.
