I am a big fan of neuroscientist and musician, Joseph LeDoux. His band, the Amygdaloids, just released a new album called Theory of My Mind. Their songs address common issues of mind and brain such as fear, memory, love, and loss.

Check out the video below of the song called “Fearing.” It’s haunting tone underscores words from an Emily Dickinson poem. Dr. LeDoux throws a little neuro-psych education about fear learning as well. Go to www.amygs.com to sign up for the Amygdaloids mailing list and help them move up the pop charts!

Click here to read Joe LeDoux’s article in Scientific American and watch a video of their song “Mind Over Matter.”

    Very interesting video! There are probably not many neuroscientist/musicians. I think the pandas are hilarious! I also like the drummer’s relaxed attitude. Thanks for this.

    Love the way he discusses fear in his song – words, music, graphics!
