Apologies for the lack of recent updates - usual end of year business. Whilst catching up on email, I came across a link sent to me by an old school friend who went on to do a PhD in Pyschology. It is a fantastic podcast by Jarvis Cocker (English musician, frontman of the band Pulp) about how we perceive music and its evolutionary significance. He does this by transporting the listener to the recording session in which Led Zeppelin laid down the famous drum intro to the song "When the Levee Breaks" from their 4th album.For me, it doesn't get any better than combining cognition, evolution and Led Zeppelin...... Click here to listen to Jarvis's dulcet Yorkshire tones describing how sound is created and subsequently processed in the ear and brain.
