TEDxMidAtlantic 2010 - Charles Limb - 11/5/10

Charles Limb loved music as a child-Mahler, the Beatles, Miles Davis, whatever. And he heard things most of us don't. "I was fascinated by this question of how sound can make you feel something," says the Johns Hopkins otolaryngologist. "If you think about it from a kind of abstract philosophical level, it's unusual that acoustic vibrations in the air can make you feel deep emotion, something that can affect your life."

Keep on researching, Mr. Limb! People like me will forever appreciate and idolize you for your work.

All my life I have wondered how creativity works.
There are times during writing, filming or playing music
when you think, 'where the hell did that come from?'

[@Altamisal]

Ditto me!

[@RealJulWhite]

This is a, I would call, perfect presentation and clearly structured. Mr Limb definitely did a great job on this, watching this 10 years later

[@ChrisDSingh87]

I'm studying undergraduate psych and doing neuro at the moment. hip hop is my favourite form of music and I found this incredibly interesting + it has helped me understand a few things. Thank you so much to Dr Limb - you are amazing!

[@pzk12]

Outstanding piece of work.

[@rzvpooya]

This is remarkable!
One of the toughest areas to do research...

[@veronicamarotta337]

this is epic.

[@Philip9633]

Dr. Limb may be the reincarnation of Dr. House haha. I thought the study and hypotheses were absolutely brilliant. Using an fMRI in order to test how creativity functions and changes the activities in the brain is outstanding!

Now is the ten years guys

[@Altamisal]

Fascinating!
"I need a mad scientist to fix my brain." I know the feeling :D
This from Ode On a Grecian Urn by John Keats may be of interest:
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter, therefore ye soft pipes, play on,
Not to the sensual ear, but more endeared,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone..."
English Lit major here, and a huge fan of music both heard and unheard.

If there are researh of what happens in the brain of pianist during improvisation with each hand separately? Empirically I know that improvisational thinking by every hand is different, and not only for technical reasons, because the sounds previously appear in the brain.

[@izvarzone]

I'm more interested how do people know when to laugh at same time, in these talks.

[@wormsali]

Mad scientists analyzin' my mind
Quantifying my rhymes
Cuz I dilate time
