[ARSCLIST] Fwd: Fw: NPR story on music response

[Don Tait <Dontaitchicago@xxxxxxx>]

  I heard this NPR story on the radio. Wiring musicians up to measure their 
physical response to music -- yes, it is an old idea indeed. One of the books 
about Herbert von Karajan (I can't remember which one) describes how he had 
himself wired and then conducted a rehearsal or whatever with his blood pressure, 
temperature, et cetera being measured and recorded. That may have been twenty 
or twenty-five years ago, however. History much too ancient for the producers 
of this story to have known about.

  
Hey Walt Whitman suggested this  more than a century ago with " I SING THE 
BODY ELECTRIC"
