Hey Seth, I know I'm way late for this but I just wanted to ask you something. I'm a musician by trade and ever since I really started listening, I've been obsessed with sound. Even though I do stuff meant for audiences, I will still play around with modular synths and enjoy a good sine wave from time to time. Its change in texture, its change in pressure and color just mesmerize me.
I am going to start grad school soon and hopefully, if everything goes well, I'll continue on to my doctorate and hopefully apply my musical and artistic skills to a particular area of psychology. I've looked into how sound can impact the brain, manipulate the nervous system and even cause physical damage to tissue. I really want to look into more abstract concepts such as sound aiding certain mental/personality disorders as well as sound being applied to the military and communication fields. I'm looking forward to reading The Universal Sense! It really delves into what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Any other books I should read in order to have a better grasp on neuroscience? I've been an audiophile all my life and I'm lacking in the science department, but I'm a quick learner. I can't even begin to explain how exciting this AMA is for me and I'm pretty bummed I missed it. Also, if you're in the LA area and need some help around the office, I'll work for free..... seriously. Any tips, or guidance that can help me in my future research would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
