MUSIC AND THE BRAIN

MUSIC AND THE BRAIN

Are Brean / Geir Olve Skeie

About the magic power of music and its amazing effect on the brainCreativity in music and the skills to play and appreciate music are uniquely human characteristics. All mammals seem to enjoy a tune but only human beings show true musicality and ability to communicate through music. The brain composes music to please itself: one can learn much about how the brain works by studying its responses to music and music-making.This book is written as three parts: The first part discusses what brain does with music, that is: how music is sensed and perceived, processes grouped together as the basis for "perception of music".The second part describes what music does to the brain: how it affects its functioning and enables it to change – effects known as manifestations of neuroplasticity. The authors then go on to analyse the characteristics of "the musician's brain" – the brains of musicians have shared features that set them apart from other people's brains.In the third part, the authors give an account of the ways in which the brain-changing effects of music can be used to aid recovery after blows to the head and to treat neurological and related disorders such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and mental illnesses. Music for the brain, not for the earsThe easy read, exciting and intriguing popular science book Music and the Brain is warmly recommended fro anyone who would like to learn more about the grey lump of water and fat that we carry between our ears.BALLADE Musically about the brainThis is a fascinating rendition of the power that music has over man. Music and the Brain is an engaging presentation of extremely advanced processes in the brain. The book is full of interesting facts and reflections around how we relate to music. It contains exciting and brand new research on the topic, well balanced and knowledgeable.AFTENPOSTEN

A new perspective on autoimmune diseases

A new perspective on autoimmune diseases

Erik Hexeberg / Sofie Hexeberg

Generally, patients are presented with the perception of the autoimmune diseases as being 'auto' in the sense that the body starts to attack itself without any cause and that the disease is also 'auto' in the way that the disease continues and will not be controlled unless the patient is treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. What if food proteins, both gluten and other food proteins, are identified by the body as unfamiliar to the body? Coeliac disease is often regarded as the “model disease” for autoimmune diseases. But as removal of gluten from the diet cures the patient the disease is not truly 'auto' in any sense. In this book the authors demonstrate the link between autoimmune diseases and food proteins by blood tests showing increased concentration of antibodies to specific food proteins and in parallel identifies parts of food proteins in urine samples. The authors propose a model where any food protein could elicit an immune response in a susceptible individual and thereby trigger an autoimmune disease. The dietary advice this book offers is based on this approach, and the book contains stories from people with different autoimmune diseases.

50 BENEFITS OF MAKING IT PAST 50

Niels Christian Geelmuyden

Naturally, turning 50 comes with certain disadvantages. The trouble is that these issues tend to be only too familiar. It is rare for the focus to be on all that improves with increasing age. What if growing older is much nicer than people believe? If entering the 50s is much better than being young? What if the best period in your life is waiting for you? If so, it counts as an exceptionally well kept secret. Until now, that is. Niels Chr. Geelmuyden, himself in his 50s, writes with humour and warmth, based on research and his own and others' experiences, about what we can look forward to once we have made it past 50.

Else sees a shrink

Else Kåss Furuseth

One day, Else Kåss Furuseth receives a phone call from her grandmother. Else's brother Lars Kristian hasn't come for supper. As he always does. At the door to his flat, Else finds a pile of newspapers. No response from inside. She calls the police and tells them that her brother is dead. Her Condolances is based on Else Kåss Furuseth's take on one of the great taboos of our time: suicide. Against the odds, her approach made the performance an amusing and touching experience, a tale of a moving, timeless act and a blackly humorous exploration of our relationship to death. In It is the smart ones who die, Kåss Furuseth investigates more deeply the mystery surrounding her brother Lars Kristian. Why did he make these decisions? A diary note for the day after his self-inflicted death shows that he had planned to spend seven hours watching a film about the extermination of the Jews. A few days after Lars Kristian's death, Else said to her father: “If I knew I had to watch that documentary, I‘d have killed myself, too.” Smiling, her father replied: “Me too. But you mustn't say this to anyone else. It's the kind of joke no one gets, except the two of us.”
