It's Brain Awareness Week
Last fall I wrote about how Grateful Dead drummer, Mickey Hart had used music to be able to reach his Grandmother, who had advanced Alzheimer's Disease. It's the start of Brain Awareness Week, so I thought I'd see what Mickey was doing.
Mickey's at it again. His concerts feature a light show using EEG data from his brain.
He also was working with a neuroscientist at the University of California- San Francisco, to see if this information can be put to practical use.
There's still lots of research that needs to be done but one day this may be a way to help improve brain functions.
Mickey Hart-more than a deadhead drummer.
