Or "the body electrical"?
As to the Whitman quote, given its age, shouldn't it be ..."the body
acoustic?"

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"

fyi
A music researcher Dan Levitin will be attaching physiological
sensors to
a conductor, orchestra members, and audience members during a
concert
performance. Hear the story on npr's archive. If this link doesn't
work
directly, search for Levitin in the past week on NPR's archives.
