Horizon: Mad But Glad
on: September 20, 2007, 09:18:31 PM
Hey,
I saw this episode a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Having just randomly had the desire to watch it again I have found it and though I would share it. Also could anyone identify the music Nick plays, the Bach and the pieces in the audition room?

Thanks

the bach was the english suite #3 - i believe.  this was a really interesting documentary on how the brain works when someone has parkinson's, tourettes, autism, madness, etc.  very interesting about the dopamine rise causing more creativity - and less of it helping certain states of 'too much firing in the brain.'
