"Off The Top"

Hip-Hop Meets Neuroscience in "Off The Top", an Exploration of Improv

What happens when a rapper teams up with a neuroscientist? You get the fascinating, entertaining and educating show "Off The Top" featuring married couple Dr. Heather Berlin ("Science Goes to the Movies" on PBS) and science rapper Baba Brinkman (Rap Guides). At the Huron Club in SoHo, they'll explore how the brain processes improvisation and comedy, why it's hard to do math while rapping and how your subconscious affects your daily life. Humorous, lyrical, and rich with subliminal stimuli, this is hard-core science communication at its best.
