The Musical Brain looks at the human musical experience. Through interviews with leading researchers (Daniel Levitin), and popular artists (Sting, Wyclef Jean), this 1 hr TV doc explores how our brains are hard-wired to crave rhythms & melodies. We developed a fiber-optic-like visualization of neural circuitry in order to depict complex brain activity for a general audience.
