Gray Area: Thinking with a Damaged Brain
LOST Magazine - Gray Area: Thinking With a Damaged Brain by Floyd Skloot My entire brain, the organ by which my very consciousness is controlled, was reorganized one day ten years ago. I went to sleep here and woke up there; the place looked the same but nothing in it worked the way it used to. I used to be able to think. My brain's circuits were all connected and I had spark, a quickness of mind that let me function well in the world. There were no problems with numbers or abstract reasoning; I could find the right word, could hold a thought in mind, match faces with names, converse coherently in crowded hallways, learn new tasks. I had a memory and an intuition that I could trust. All that changed on December 7, 1988, when I contracted a virus that targeted my brain. A decade later, my cane and odd gait are the most visible evidence of damage. But most of the damage is hidden. My cerebral cortex, the gray matter that M.I.T. neuroscientist Steven Pinker likens to "a large sheet of two- dimensional tissue that has been wadded up to fit inside the spherical skull," has been riddled with tiny perforations. This sheet and the thinking it governs are now porous. Invisible to the naked eye, but readily seen through brain imaging technology, are areas of scar tissue that constrict blood flow. Anatomic holes, the lesions in my gray matter, appear as a scatter of white spots like bubbles or a ghostly pattern of potshots. -

For thirty days, we honor the great poets of our past by spotlighting new and promising works and encouraging everyone (and anyone) to connect with their inner poet. This year, the CALS Writing Circle hosted a month-long challenge. For every day in the month of April, a new prompt in the form of a single word was given to our writers--words like wake, spark, thaw, clear. When we sat down to plan the challenge, we set a few goals. We agreed that if April came to an end and we had at least fifteen poems, we would consider the contest a success. The days ticked by, but our inboxes never came up empty; every morning there were new poems to be read. -

Escaping Eden
Escaping Eden Chapter 1 I wake up screaming. Where am I? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cold? It’s dark. I look around, blinking sleep from my eyes. I notice a window somewhere in the back of the room. It’s open and moonlight shines through, casting a square beam of light across the floor. A breeze drifts in, and white curtains float like pale ghosts in the darkness. In the narrow light of the moon, I see that the carpet is burgundy. I also see the outlines of furniture. My head vaguely aching, I look at the shadows scattered messily across the room. I feel like sweeping them up to make room for light. I shake off the urge. Stop being delusional. There’s a funny smell in the air, like a mixture of old home mustiness and laboratory sterilization. I realize that I’m lying on the floor. Why am I not on the bed? The last thing I remember is pain. Maybe that’s why I woke up screaming. The pain was intense. The pain was… cold. I decide to swallow my fear. It tastes terrible. I stand up and my neck aches. As I rub my hand across it, my bones crack like I haven’t moved in a long time. I whisper to myself. “As Grandpa always said…” My train of thought rolls off into the distance. Where was I going with this? Who is “Grandpa”? I put my hand on my sweaty forehead. I must be tired. I look for a light switch by approaching the walls and groping around. -
Exposure to Music and Cognitive Performance: Tests of Children And
ARTICLE 5 Exposure to music and Psychology of Music Psychology of Music Copyright © 2007 cognitive performance: Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research tests of children and adults vol 35(1): 5‒19 [0305-7356 (200701) 35:1; 5‒19] 10.1177⁄0305735607068885 E. GLENN SCHELLENBERG http://pom.sagepub.com UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, CANADA TAKAYUKI NAKATA NAGASAKI JUNSHIN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, JAPAN PATRICK G. HUNTER UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, CANADA SACHIKO TAMOTO NAGASAKI JUNSHIN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY, JAPAN ABSTRACT This article reports on two experiments of exposure to music and cognitive performance. In Experiment 1, Canadian undergraduates performed better on an IQ subtest (Symbol Search) after listening to an up-tempo piece of music composed by Mozart in comparison to a slow piece by Albinoni. The effect was evident, however, only when the two pieces also induced reliable differences in arousal and mood. In Experiment 2, Japanese 5-year-olds drew for longer periods of time after singing or hearing familiar children’s songs than after hearing Mozart or Albinoni, and their drawings were judged by adults to be more creative, energetic, and technically proficient. These results indicate that (1) exposure to different types of music can enhance performance on a variety of cognitive tests, (2) these effects are mediated by changes in emotional state, and (3) the effects generalize across cultures and age groups. KEYWORDS: cognition and emotion, cognitive ability, intellectual ability, Mozart effect, music and cognition, music listening The impact of music on listeners’ emotional state is well documented (e.g. Gabrielsson, 2001; Husain et al., 2002; Krumhansl, 1997; Peretz, 2001; Schmidt and Trainor, 2001; Sloboda and Juslin, 2001; Thayer and Levenson, 1983; Thompson et al., 2001), as is the effect of emotional state on participants’ performance on a wide variety of cognitive measures. -

PROFESSOR: All right, so for the rest of class, I'm going to talk about post-production. Do you guys want to take a five minute break before I jump into that? OK. I will do that when you guys come back. All right, so last lecture-- should I stand up for this since I stood for all the other ones? OK. Feel free to interrupt me at anytime. So I'm going to start off with my favorite quote of all time, at least for this class, which is, "In writing, you must kill all your darlings." And that is what today's lecture is about. Post-production 101 or Killing All of Your Darlings. So when we think of production, we think of the journey that we have taken in the last week of this class. We start with ideation, we script, we storyboard, shoot, edit, and then we get to this product magically. And we have these three concrete steps of pre-production, production, which is what you're about to do, and post-production. Let me know when I can go to the next slide. The reality is that it's not like that at all. And maybe you've seen that. Hopefully, you've seen that in the course in the last week-- that you don't do production in this nice linear, sequential format, but you ideate and you script. -

The present study attempted to evaluate the theory that listening to classical music enhances the learning and subsequent recall of new information. Twenty-four undergraduate students participated in this study. In a 2x2 ANOVA design, all participants were assigned to read a short passage while listening to one of four types of music: classical music at either high or low volume, or electronic music at either high or low volume. -
