Music & the Brain

Yesterday I watched a programme which restored in me a little awe for humankind. Watching the incredible, intuitive musical abilities of Derek Paravicini, who is severely disabled and otherwise has the IQ of a 4 year old, I was reminded of the good and the beautiful that man is capable of. Oliver Sacks: Tales of Music and the Brain is available here for 3 more days on BBC iPlayer.

The programme was also embellished with the occasional animated skit; these made me think of Eleanor's work.
