Music has powerful emotive and expressive qualities that transcend its description as a purely physical phenomenon. This is of course due to how the brain processes musical information. On this program, Prof. Daniel Levitin discussed the musical brain.  For more information, visit the website: www.groks.net.

Hey guys! Great interview with David Levitan. Did you know he's good friends with a number of well known musicians, including David Byrne and Paul Simon? He's a fascinating guy. I've cut out about 7 different excerpts from this show which I'm doctoring slightly for broadcast. (Including some of your funny exclamations at the end.) Thanks for sending us this interesting stuff! It's good to have smart talk on science represented on the air here.
