Subject: musical brain - Saturday at 6:30



Dear Jennifer,

I am not sure if they will mention the MNI specifically in this Dan Levitin documentary, but I thought that the people who were involved in scanning Sting last summer would be interested in watching the program.  Could you forward it to the people in the BIC?

 

It is tomorrow night at 6:30 on CTV.  Below is a link to a Gazette article.

STING HAS MUSIC ON THE BRAIN

Neuroscience is proving that music is essential to our lives, thanks to new technology and scientists and musicians who want to understand the link between the brain and music. Sting, in particular, wanted to know what goes on inside his head when playing and listening to music. The singer-songwriter volunteered to be a guinea pig for the documentary The Musical Brain, [with McGill neuroscientist Dan Levitin] which delves into what happens when mind and melody meet. The one-hour special tomorrow night reveals compelling evidence of what our brains do when music enters the equation.
