Ycs, indeed!...Will call via Lesley tomorrow (Thurs 11/5) -
What are you up to these days? Are you back from Europe? Back in science? We need you!
Just got a paper accepted on autonomic responses to pain and their modulation by music in premature infants...going to the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting in SD next week to present some work on the role of human auditory cortex in intensity processing and loudness perception...got nominated for governship on the LA Board of the Natl Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences...
And am banging away on the innateness hypothesis from a mathematical perspective: Simplicity in spatial/spectral (harmonic) relationships in an instant of time and simplicity in temporal (rhythmic) relationships -
If we show that we can attenuate pain-induced heart-rate increases in pretties with consonant -
but not dissonant - music, or with metrical but not non-metrical rhythms (carried by synthetic
heartbeat sounds), we'd have evidence from the brains of babies that are MINUS I or more
months of age! An Institute summer student and I composed and synthesized piano lullabies
and random/metrical rhythms via Sibelius and a number generator, and have a Logic Studio
setup up and running...we sent FSN a proposal on this one last year. The Grammy
Foundation awarded us a grant but cut the budget from $40k to $25k because they were
short on funds. The Doris Duke Foundation said they loved the proposal but are/were under
water...
- And trying to find the time needed to finish my book proposal for ICM Talent - an "advance on an advance" - maybe a Guggenheim Foundation grant? Otherwise, that time has to go into seeing my thousandth stroke patient, hundredth MS patient, etc. My book agent, Kris Dahl, who has a nice stable of NY Times top-20 fiction and non-fiction writers, thinks I can get upwards of 100-150k as an advance, given my background and credentials. Getting tapped by the senior commissionng neuroscience/psychology editor at Oxford Press to do the first Cognitive Neuroscience of Music textbook won't hurt either. For that honor, Oxford gave me a whopping 2.2k advance!
Peace & Love,
Mark

You need to first dear the cache, clear your history, and then, restart your brower.
It will be different.
however, it will take about a week for the edu and other links to kick in.
