You Left Me Speechless


The Library of Congress has an awesome new podcast series called Music And The Brain. The website says:
The Library's Music and the Brain events offer lectures, conversations and symposia about the explosion of new research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and music. Project chair Kay Redfield Jamison convenes scientists and scholars, composers, performers, theorists, physicians, psychologists, and other experts at the Library for a compelling 2-year series, with generous support from the Dana Foundation.

And if you can't choose on your own, here's a sampling:
-Halt or I'll Play Vivaldi! Classical Music as Crime Stopper
-States of Mind: Music in Islamic Sufi Rituals.
-Your Brain on Jazz: Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Improvisation
