POPSThis is the rhythm of the heart.. "investigators did find subconscious reflex autonomous responses. Almost every musical crescendo induced progressive skin vasoconstriction along with increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Correlations between cardiovascular variables and music profile were particularly evident during the aria "Nessun dorma," which is characterized by 3 progressively stronger crescendos. "We found that there were a lot of correspondences, particularly during the part of the musical track that has those crescendos," said Dr. Bernardi. Conversely, during the slower or silent phases, there was progressive skin vasodilation and reductions in heart rate and blood pressure, indicating progressive relaxation."

POPSMusic Reduced to Beautiful Math "You can use these geometrical spaces to provide ways of visualizing musical pieces," Tymoczko told LiveScience. "These spaces give us a much better and comprehensive picture of the space of all possible chords."

POPSEvolution of Human Consciousness, With Words, Music and Brain Imagery Self Comes To Mind is a collaboration between composer Bruce Adolphe and neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, known for his research and writing on the evolution of human consciousness. "My view is that we evolved mind first, in a very broad sense," Damasio explains. "And eventually we also evolved the possibility of knowing that we have a mind. That is a process that begins with the construction of the self … and it is out of that which comes our sense of discovery — of our own existence, of our surroundings, and eventually of our own condition."

POPSThe Shape of Music The shapes of the space of chords we have described also reveal deep connections between a wide range of musical genres. It turns out that superficially different styles--Renaissance music, classical and Romantic music, jazz, rock, and other popular forms--all make remarkably similar use of the geometry of chord space. Traditional techniques for manipulating musical scales turn out to be closely analogous to those used to connect individual chords. And some composers have displayed a profound understanding of the higher-dimensional geometry of musical chords. In fact, one can argue that Romantic composers such as Chopin had an intuitive feel for non-Euclidean higher-dimensional spaces that exceeded the explicit understanding of their mathematical contemporaries.

POPSRecord Industry Goes After Personal Use So you pay for the CD and then load it into iTunes to put on your iPod and now that is illegal? Are these people so desperate for money they are now going after the end user who has already paid for it?

POPSNanowires prefer Deep Purple The band, not ultra violet, but apparently they weren't offered a very wide selection, and the wires grown by exposure to Deep purple are described as kinky. The intention is for wires to grow straight,which can be done more easily with the standard plasma. But they also said, if they ever find a use for kinky nanowires, they know what to do. There was no mention of the way the wires grew with the other music, but I imagine the growth can be as varied as the type of music. They mention that it didn't like the German music. I wondered if nanowires like polkas

POPSA combination of nature and nurture Did the musicians perform better because they are naturally more sensitive to sounds, and thus more likely to study music? Or did their nervous systems change because they were exposed to music for more than a decade? We're all a combination of nature and nurture
