Brain Fireworks! (video)

Spark the body and brain
with music and movement

1812 Overture performed to fireworks! Why not create your own sparkle, mimicking my complex movement routine and echoing the lyrics.

Engage your pre-frontal cortex, motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, visual, auditory, vestibular and kinesthetic body brain systems. This is the same body brain network that involves academic performance skills. Ka boom! Give your brain a blast of mind-stimulating chemicals!

Fearing – The Amygdaloids (video)



Must see this musical lecture on fear

Joseph LeDoux, author of the Emotional Brain and Synaptic Self uses music to present mini lectures on fear and the amygdala. Read the text shown below the video for additional clarity. I marvel over LeDoux’s masterful work.
