Research On Health & Our Brain
The list of researchers below have been deeply helpful in my quest to understand more about my health as well as my perception of the world we are a part of, and the way in which we interact with it. For me as a musician, these topics have helped me find more balance in both my body and mind, thus music. Perhaps you may find one or more of these people with whom you resonate and follow into their many works.
HEMISPHERES OF THE BRAIN & UNDERSTANDING OUR PLACE IN THE COSMOS
Iain McGilchrist - is a psychiatrist, writer, and former Oxford literary scholar. McGilchrist came to prominence after the publication in 2019 of his book The Master and His Emissary, subtitled The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World. And now the release of another masterpiece, The Matter with Things, he dives very deeply into the topic of how we perceive the world and act within it. His work work with the hemispheres of the brain has literally changed my life. His deeply integrated view of the arts (music dance poetry painting etc…) have made learning from his research all the more fluid. I highly recommend browsing through his work to see if it strikes a chord. https://channelmcgilchrist.com

Neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman - is an American neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

I am particularly excited about his research on leaning and the ways to optimize brain function. Very useful and exciting knowledge. Enjoy!
