"...Furthermore, biomedical researchers have found not only that music is a highly structured auditory language involving complex perception, cognition, and motor control in the brain, but also that this sensory language can effectively be used to retrain and re-educate the injured brain." #thisisyourbrainonmusic #neurology #musictherapy (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEwJ-3J9WQ/?igshid=1hz5wl865t97a

Day 18 of #allthebookssep21 is Unread Book Stack. 📚 I have stacks of unread books all over the place, but this is the stack currently on my nightstand. I plan to get to them at some point, hopefully! 📚 #allthebookssep21 #bookstagram #bookstack #unreadbookstack #bookaddict #readersofinstagram #unreadbooks #igbooks #instabooks #humblepie #gordonramsay #walkingasacredpath #laurenartress #thisisyourbrainonmusic #danieljlevitin #nocturnes #kazuoishiguro #calypso #davidsedaris #iwasbonosdoppelganger #neilmccormick https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_NETGLjRH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fantastic performances and super interesting presentations on Music, the brain and health last night. What a fun date night! Did you know speaking uses a different part of your brain than singing? And music can boost your pattern recognition? And I finally got to see Renee Fleming perform! We also got to see her brain so that was a bonus! #soundhealth #thisisyourbrainonmusic #voicepatterns #musictherapy #kennedycenter #nih #reneeflemming #drcollins #benfolds #drninakraus #drcharleslimb #drlevitin #jussiesmollett #musicandthemind #livemusic #mindhealth #voiceartist #voiceover #vo #lillianrachelvoiceover #britvoice #ladyvoice (at The John F.

it's fascinating how a question is stated in a high pitch. that's because questions 'open up' to answers. accusations register as straight or falling pitches. they ground and condemn, put down, the accused. and so im beginning to see how elemental music is to humanness and why some argue music may be the first language.

“Here is a fundamental quality of music. Note names repeat because of a perceptual phenomenon that corresponds to the doubling and halving of frequencies. When we double or halve a frequency, we end up with a note that sounds remarkably similar to the one we started out with. This relationship, a frequency ratio of 2:1 or 1:2, is called the octave. It is so important that, in spite of the large differences that exist between musical cultures—between Indian, Balinese, European, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and so on—every culture we know of has the octave as the basis for its music, even if it has little else in common with other musical traditions. This phenomenon leads to the notion of circularity in pitch perception, and is similar to circularity in colors. Although red and violet fall at opposite ends of the continuum of visible frequencies of electromagnetic energy, we see them as perceptually similar. The same is true in music, and music is often described as having two dimensions, one that accounts for tones going up in frequency (and sounding higher and higher) and another that accounts for the perceptual sense that we’ve come back home again[…]” Excerpt From: Daniel J.

La question qu'on m'a posée le mois dernier, pour un documentaire. Ça m'a rappelé cet excellent bouquin et cette phrase "One of the reasons that we're willing to make ourselves vulnerable to our favorite musicians is that they often make themselves vulnerable to us (or they convey vulnerability throught their art) (...) it is unusual to let oneself become so vulnerable with a total stranger." Bah, c'est tout simple finalement 😇 #thisisyourbrainonmusic #scienceandmusic

Day 7 of #bookishcanadianssept20 is Non-Fiction. 📚 These days I seem to be reading more non-fiction than fiction. I’m not sure why this is, but it’s not something I deliberately set out to do. The Neil deGrasse Tyson book is one of my current reads, the other is one I’m contemplating getting into soon. 📚 #bookishcanadianssept20 #bookstagram #bookaddict #readersofinstagram #igbooks #instabooks #nonfiction #thisisyourbrainonmusic #danieljlevitin #lettersfromanastrophysicist #neildegrassetyson https://www.instagram.com/p/CE3QZphAeZ0/?igshid=f0mgf8tmgina

Dead Mans Party or Twinkle Twinkle

Do you have a song that if it comes on the radio you know your days is going to be awesome?! Or there is that song that once you hear it, you are going to hear it in your head all day?

Mine is Oingo Boingo ~Dead Mans Party.  Why? No clue. But I am here to tell you that if it comes on the radio (which because of it's age is not common)...I am going to have a kick ass day!

Now, my granddaughter will tell you Twinkle Twinkle or Let it Go are her awesome day songs.

There is actually a lot of science behind why we love these songs, or even why we hate certain songs. Pick up a book by David J. Levitin called "This is Your Brain on Music".  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Your_Brain_On_Music

I hope your kick ass day song plays today!!

Yep, it's time to put this book in the good ole memory bank. #ThisIsYourBrainOnMusic
