Here is a link to the New York Times article www.nytimes.com/2011/04/19/science/19brain.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&smid=fb-nytimesExcerpt: "Research is showing, for example, that our brains understand music not only as emotional diversion, but also as a form of motion and activity. The same areas of the brain that activate when we swing a golf club or sign our name also engage when we hear expressive moments in music. Brain regions associated with empathy are activated, too, even for listeners who are not musicians." Cheers Wirey |

I don't care where they insert the bleepin' earbuds, so long as when I turn my head sideways, I get to see the same thing he does!

I don't care where they insert the bleepin' earbuds, so long as when I turn my head sideways, I get to see the same thing he does! Very simple. - 1 quart of Stolichnaya - 1 comfortable recliner - 1 copy of Crime and Punishment Directions: Sit back and get comfortable in the recliner. Drink the lion's share of the Stolichnaya. Begin reading Crime and Punishment...this guaranteed to make you nod off. Provided you drank enough of the Stoli before you nodded off you will find that when you head bounces off your chest and you snap to in the recliner everything will look like what was standing next to the Russian in the above photograph. My apologies in advance to the cat. Happy Trails Cynical One EDIT: Not recommended for minors, those with a weak heart...or a strong cat... |

.... that bloody mary staring me in the face like that Depending on how one perceives everything in the photo at first glance, this could be a very subtle double-entendre. I think a +1 is in order here. |

Cheers Wirey Thanks for that link, as a news article, a little light on...I've stopped watching the media generally... However I am reading occasionally a book called "Music, the brain and ecstasy; how music captures our imagination"...a bit old now but quite interesting. Some time ago I heard about "Mirror Neurons" discovered in 1992 and a stunning discovery.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuronThere is a lot to consider in this, from why women tend to dance more and better, to the reason that great songs can lyrically make no sense and it doesn't matter...to all aspects of music and empathy...but as yet little if any research has been done on it really, but I am sure there is some interesting science yet to come in these areas. The picture...well...nice gym, gold weights are a nice touch, nice decor especially the assistant on the right... I suspect that there may well be some slight relation to music and burning energy...we all know the experience of how a faster song can pump one up, the average song tempo tends to be similar to a heart beats...the subtitles of performance though is an interesting thing to study, but I am not sure we know enough at the moment to really understand this. Interesting though, thanks... |

Similarly, when driving on the freeway, an AC/DC tune on the radio seems to directly affect my right foot, such that by the time it ends I'm in the left-hand lane doing 20 mph over the limit!  |

Absolutely...and living in the country now and going on longer drives at high speeds...well...a good CD and I can't remember what happened between getting in the car and getting there...
Ain't music great...wish I could make some great music...better get back to it!
