Gray Matters - Brain Music




Dana Radio Series - Gray Matters show

Summary: Scientists have at their disposal medical instruments that now allow them to see far more deeply into the human brain than ever before. For instance, sensors can in any 15 seconds pick up as much as four million bits of information. But with so much information, how do you make any sense of it? Traditional methods of charts and graphs aren't cutting it. That's where music comes in-and a fascinating new intersection between art and science. DABI member Apostolos Georgopoulos, M.D., Ph.D. talks about his research. Brian Newhouse has more.
