Alive Inside – The Healing Power of Music

Author and neurologist Oliver Sacks has been doing some amazing work looking at the impact listening to music has on the human brain.

The Guardian recently linked to a You Tube video http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/us-news-blog/2012/apr/12/alive-inside-documentary-healing-music?CMP=twt_gu showing Henry Dyer, 92 seemingly wake up a in a way that cannot fail to move the viewer.  We know that listening to music can release dopamine and this new documentary adds another dimension to the power of the brain and the power of music.  Great stuff!
