Helga Winold research footage studying the movement of cello players - both in real time and slowed down.
Helga Winold is a concert cellist and former Professor of Music in the Jacobs School of Music. She was also the first IU student to receive her Doctorate of Music in the Cello (1967) and was appointed to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in 1969.

With IU psychology professor Esther Thelen, Winold used computers to track and analyze students' movements as they played the cello resulting in better teaching methods and articles in scientific journals. She was awarded the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 2008.

In mid-December 1961, the Council of Ministers, the highest authority in the Common Market, gathered in Brussels for the most momentous of its periodic meetings. Four years had elapsed since the activation of the Common Market treaty, January 1, 1958. According to the treaty, midnight of December 31, 1961, was the deadline for the end of the first and passage into the second of three transitional phases in Europe's economic unification process.
