  1. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube: Musicians Manage Their Tribes

    Raise your hand if you’ve experienced anxiety trying to keep up with Facebook, Twitter, email.

    OK, now imagine you’re a musician who relies on social media to release your songs, connect with fans, and make a living.

    In the business it’s called D2F – or direct-to-fan marketing – and it was a hot topic in panels and hallways this week at Berklee College of Music’s Rethink Music conference. People from all corners of the industry converged on Hynes Convention Center in Boston, and some of them raised questions about the potential downside of constant connection.

  2. Mysteries of the Brain Part 4

    The experiences that we take for granted – talking to a friend, listening to a piece of music, lifting a cup of coffee, tasting a peach – depend for their existence on the intricate and silent workings of several cooperative regions of the brain.

    Why do some people see numbers as coloured? Do we have five or twenty-five senses? How much of the brain do we need to understand language? Can we cure chronic pain or depression at the flick of an electrical switch? Do we decide how to act before we know about it?

    For this four-part series, Professor Barry Smith from the Institute of Philosophy, explores the way neuroscience is addressing the ultimate scientific challenge: namely, how our brain makes us the conscious creatures we are – capable of language, thinking and feeling.

    Part four: Consciousness, Self and Other

  6. Language and the Lizard Brain | Jon Tan | New Adventures In Web Design conference | Nottingham | 20th January 2011

    Deep in the recesses of the brain lies the most ancient of all our faculties: The Lizard brain; It’s a mysterious place of snap judgements and life-saving instincts. Design can reach it, but first let’s understand it, and maybe get to know ourselves and our audience along the way.

  10. Rebecca Saxe: How we read each other’s minds

    Sensing the motives and feelings of others is a natural talent for humans. But how do we do it? Here, Rebecca Saxe shares fascinating lab work that uncovers how the brain thinks about other peoples’ thoughts — and judges their actions.

    Rebecca Saxe studies how we think about other people’s thoughts. At the Saxelab at MIT, she uses fMRI to identify what happens in our brains when we consider the motives, passions and beliefs of others.
