Oliver Sacks talks with Mike Cuthbert about his new book
The power of music
November 20, 2007 – The ability of neurologist Oliver Sacks to tell fascinating stories about his patients is a gift that has earned him the informal title “poet laureate of medicine.”
In his latest book, Musicophilia, he explores the mystery of the human mind as seen through interactions with music. Dr. Sacks talks with Mike about the possibility that music may have the ability to heal some patients with Tourette syndrome and Parkinson’s disease.
