Through my
Amazon membership (now screwed up by my new
incompetent conservator) I watch the presentation to a series of documentaries about the strong
relationship between music and our brain.
As I had
posted several times here before, my intense love for music started with
playing piano when I was a teenager especially for all composed by J. S. Bach
and magnificently performed (or re-composed )by the pianist genius Glenn Gould (I own every single DVD movie and music CD ever made of
him).
The
neuropsychologist in this video (I can watch the full 24 minutes long documentary in Amazon) says that not only today is very
clear – and can be documented with scans – the effects of music to our brain,
but that music affects the human brain since millions of years ago across
cultures and geographical areas, in fact a flute was recently found that had
been built with good technique several tens of thousands of years ago by what’s
believed to have been a Neanderthal individual.
Especially
now that we are dealing with the “string theory” (from quantum physics) we are hoping that we’ll be able to find our
God creator (Jehovah=
universal gravity, omnipresent and omniscient) I find it fascinating that the probes launched
several years ago to reach other planets in our galaxy to find other
intelligence, carry disk recordings of music from our planet (I love that among them
there’s Glenn Gould playing a fugue composed by Bach) simply because music is today
considered a truly universal language.
What the
neuropsychologist Patel says too is that the “science” he belongs to, has
recently developed innovative ways to determine the functionality of a damaged
brain using scans and MRI’s while the subject being studied listens to music,
to see what parts of the brain are activated and in what way (VERY MUCH different from
determining the way pictures of cats and stones are seen….).
This to me
shows how serious the damage to the brain of both the loser in Oxnard and of my
eternal love is, I could say very much to explain with real examples why I believe
so, but this would be too much for this simple , short and clear post, just
watch the Youtube video and go to my linked websites.
