Matt Langione
Langione recently completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, where his dissertation, “Felt Thought: Neuroscience, Modernism and the Intelligence of Poetry,” called on cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and the history of science and technology in order to establish what exactly is going on in the brain as we read literature and why it might prove valuable both to the individual and to society. He has previously studied literature (Cambridge) and neuroscience (Penn), and his research has been cited in The Atlantic and on NPR.
