Anyone who:
A) Has a science method
B) Is fascinated by the human brain
C) Likes music
I'm linking in an episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Radiolab from WNYC (Public radio, New York).
As a science and music fan, this episode blew me away. It's about a ragtime piano player named Bob Milne who was tested by a neurologist at Penn State University after the way he described how his brain thinks of music. Apparently, he can listen to four symphonies in his head simultaneously. The episode get a bit subjective and dramatic, but if you have 20 minutes to spare on the train sometime, I highly recommend this. It's a great example of how amazing the human brain is and our lack of understanding of how it functions. Enjoy.
