través del Twitter de Juan Freire, di con Open Culture, un gran espacio para compartir y expandir la cultura. Y en éste encontré una entrevista que le hicieron en la revista Harper's al famoso neurólogo Oliver Sacks acerca de su último libro: Musicophilia.

Una frase de Oliver que me enganchó fue:

"As Daniel Levitin has pointed out, passive listening has largely replaced active music-making. Now that we can listen to anything we like on our iPods, we have less motivation to go to concerts or churches or synagogues, less occasion to sing together. This is unfortunate, because music-making engages much more of our brains than simply listening. Partly for this reason, to celebrate my 75th birthday last year, I started taking piano lessons (after a gap of more than sixty years). I still have my iPod (it contains the complete works of Bach), but I also need to make music."

Mi aprendizaje y descubrimiento sobre el poder de la música en nuestro cerebro, al leer más del libro de Sacks, me asombró enormemente.
