Book 76: Musicophilia

This is your brain.


This is your brain on music.



I actually had wanted to read Oliver Sacks' new book, Hallucinations, but it wasn't available, so I listened to this one, instead. It started out a little slow, but ultimately, I found it fascinating.

Sacks gives case studies about music and every kind of brain imaginable: the autistic brain, the amnesic brain, the depressed brain, the Alzheimer's brain, the Tourette's brain, the Parkinsonian brain, and so on.
