The Music of the Spheres

Season 2, Episode 31  |   Air Date: 19 September 2011

Ancient philosophers described the movement of the Sun, Moon and planets as “the music of the spheres” — the geometry of the cosmos conceived as proportional mathematical harmony. Today, science is revealing new ways music taps into ancient pathways in the brain, and technology is allowing music to be composed in new and innovative ways. Richard Melville Hall, better known as Moby, talks with Neil about the science of music, and how this intangible art has the power to move us physically and emotionally. Jonathan Coulton discusses writing songs about asteroid mining and the dwarf planet Pluto, and reveals that his song about fractals often makes him cry. Comedian Eugene Mirman is instrumental in providing some good vibrations for this symphony of science.   ..........Next Guests: Moby Musician Jonathan Coulton Musician Co-Host: Eugene Mirman Comedian Listen:

Nirvana and the Right Side of the Brain
Saturday, July 19, 2008


Guest: Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD
This amazing show features Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor the author of "My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey". Dr. Taylor is a Neuroanatomist affiliated with the Indiana University School of Medicine. She is the national spokesperson for the mentally ill at the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center. And since 1993 she has been an active member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

In this show Dr. Taylor takes us through her unique journey as a neuroanatomist having a stroke and being able to consciously observe what was happening to her. She shares how the damaged left side on her brain, the rational, logical detail and time oriented side swung in and out of function, while the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive and emotional right side of the brain took over and brought with it a sense of complete well being, inner peace and oneness with the universe. Dr. Taylor also shares what it took to completely recover, repair her mind and recalibrate her understanding of the world according to the insights she gained.
