I find brain research to be a fascinating subject and this was a wonderful study of the effects of music on the brain. This goes into research of measuring patterns and brainwaves, technology that wasn't available a few decades ago. Some of the cases are beneficial to the individuals, such as a man who was struck by lightning and found he became obsessed with creating music. Some are detrimental to the individuals, such as finding music causes them to go into seizures. Everything from a tune that gets stuck in your head to autism and the effects of music therapy are covered. It will give you an appreciation for your own experience of music. I highly recommend!
