"And they were very turned on." Hahaha nice pun there Sacks.

fascinating and mystifying; electro shock therapy has caused tragic results in so many; the brilliant guitarist Hank Garland is one.

You should be very proud of your Uncle! What a great job to be dong...and what a compassionate man.

Matter is an illusion!

interesting...I like the spiritual aspect of this event...science, of course, is reductive and tries to explain everything materialisitically, but I don't think it can explain stuff like this, or conciousness, the root of existence for that matter

thats so interesting - i've been watching stuff by Ramachandran on temporal lobe epilepsy, and how they sometimes get high spirituality/ religious episodes as a consequence.

I attend SUNY Oneonta and my one of my music mentors is very close to this man. Dr. Cicoria performed at my school, it was his first live performance ever. His music was incredible!!! It left me in tears at the end. His music was so powerful and mezmerizing. I was honored to have the opportunity to hear his music. The man is simply genius!
