Library of Congress Podcasts: Music and the Brain


thecoloringspot.com
Hi there, Yes-Brainers,

The Library of Congress makes available free to the public — in podcast form (about which more later) — its lectures, discussions, and concerts about a broad span of topics, including our favorite, brain research.

This link — <www.loc.gov/podcasts> — will take you to the Library's podcasts home page.

If, however, you would like to increase specifically the symphonic store of notes you've already taken on music and the brain from your readings in Oliver Sachs' Musicophilia and other sources, such as our own posting titled "Your Brain on Music" — check out this list of podcasts at the LOC our tax dough has provided on the topic "Music and the Brain":

1. Your Brain on Jazz: Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Improvisation.

2. The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature.

3. The Music of Language and the Language of Music.

4. Dangerous Music

5. From Mode to Emotion in Musical Communication

6. "Halt or I'll Play Vivaldi! Classical Music as Crime Stopper"


I've listened to "Dangerous Music," have been forewarned about listening to a particularly noxious combination of notes, and feel much safer now.


Here's the link: <http://www.loc.gov/podcasts/musicandthebrain/>.


As you will see on the page titled "The Library of Congress > Podcasts > Music and the Brain" — a copy of which I have pasted below — you will see a box containing the word SUBSCRIBE followed by a link titled <> . Click on that link to subscribe and — wow! — you're into the Library of Congress.

That's it for now.

Below is that copied page that lists the LOC's podcasts on "Music and the Brain."

Best,

John
