<p>Great book I just finished. I had read one of his previous ones back in college and loved it. Nothing like the strangeness of truth. Wait...someone said that better. The book is a series of case studies of people with neurological conditions that all revolve around music. </p><p>The highlights are contained in the book which is now half red with pen marks, but here's some notes and thoughts it inspired enough to cause them to be writ:</p>How much of outer body experiences are culturally interred, how much is raw neurosci?<p>Musicophilic flood of raw music & temporal lobe seizures.</p><p>What if our strange neurological syndromes became the norm? What would we induce?</p><p>Fear of music and epileptic triggers (great character trait).</p><p>Kleine Nacht musik > sensing by reading and creating experiences in your head.</p><p>Brainwork sufferer. "Ohrwurm", composer Slonimsky. Check out the Twain story. </p><p>What if you had to find the music playing in your mind? </p>
