Nel sogno di questa notte c'è un disco che gira e gira, si tratta credo d'un cantautore inesistente di quegli anni là, la copertina puzza di fiori di plastica, di destra e di sinistra, di canzonissimissime, e la musica è pacata e familiare come il suono di un battello a vapore fuori dalla finestra o d'un acquazzone sul tetto durante una notte d'amore e xanax. Mi sveglio con in testa un'unica definitiva frase che col senno di poi doveva per forza appartenere al ritornello, recitata dal tipo con piglio strascicato, dopato, misteriosamente mellifluo:

"Raramente situazioni strane rovinano la gente sana di mente"

[threeswept]

I saw Chad Valley for the 7th time this past weekend.  I was mistaken and told Hugo — that’s his real name — that it was my 8th time.  I have seen him 5 times in San Francisco, once in DC, and once in New York. Though the set in New York was cut short because of a noise ordinance. I went to the Cascine Records 5 year party, and he was the closing act, but all the other acts had gone late, so his set was cut short :/

He was as good as ever this past Saturday, and I obviously had to buy the new limited edition gold LP to round out my collection.  He even autographed it for me.

The record really came through today as I struggled to finish up my grading.  His smooth angelic voice over some major 80′s/90′s R&B vibes was exactly what I needed to keep going. And now, in the wee hours of the morning the eve before grades are due, I am done. grading. (for now, at least!).

A team of scientists from the EPFL found out what happens in our brains when we hear music in our heads.

Listening to music, different parts of the brain process different information, like high or low frequencies, in order to match the auditory perception of the sound to what we hear; while this process is easy to study when the music is “real”, the same process is much more complex to understand when the music is “in your head”. With the help of the institute’s Chair in Human-Machine Interface (CNBI), the team was able to analyze what happens in the latter case.

Together with a team from the University of California in Berkeley, the team worked with an epileptic patient who also is a pianist; in the beginning, the patient played a piece of music on an electric piano with the sound turned on, while his brain activity was recorded. Then, he replayed the same piece, but the sound of the piano was turned off and he was asked to imagine hearing the music in his head. The recorded activity were different to those in the first task.

The study was the first of its kind, and might be one day help develop treatment for people who lost their ability to speak.
