Musical notes on neuroscience
I recently had the privilege of visiting Splatspace, which is my town's own little hackerspace in the middle of downtown. I met some passionate people doing amazing things with music and electronics, which reminded me of the first person I interviewed for SwM as a part of my effort to put the spotlight on people who do both science and music.
I ran across this extremely well-done video on the science of sound, frequencies, and pitch via the lovely people on my Twitter feed. This video is an excellent, fun, and engaging explanation of how sounds change from vibrations in the air to things our brains can perceive and interpret.
My interview with Zoe Cormier of Guerilla Science plus the use of galvanic skin response machines at the World Science Festival got me thinking about this post from the archives of SwM that details a study on feeling chills while listening to music.

As this lovely post by Olivia Koski on the SA Incubator blog details, last weekend science went Guerilla in the United States. Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips standing with a giant brain that Guerilla Science placed at the Green Man festival.

I’ve spent the past week fascinated with the buzz surrounding the forthcoming album from Bjork, Biophilia. One very unique thing about this new album is the theme of science, nature, technology, and music that surround each song.
Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus, a program from the 2009 World Science Festival If you’re like me, you follow World Science Festival on Twitter and constantly marvel at the new videos they add from prior festivals.
The brain is an amazing organ. It gives us conscious control over our actions and is the seat of our thoughts and experiences. There are millions of things in our environment that enter our world everyday, but only a few of them get past the steely discrimination of our perception.
Hi! I’m Princess, and I’m extremely honored to make Science with Moxie a part of the Scientific American blogging network. I started this blog in 2009 on a bit of a whim and out a lot of admiration for the science blogosphere.
