The Science of Learning (to Play the guitar)

Description

One of our most eminent neuroscientists spent a year teaching himself to play the guitar. Why? Scientist Gary Marcus was keenly interested in how the brain can essentially rewire itself to make up for deficits caused by trauma. In the presence of Vernon Reid, #66 on Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time, Gary Marcus discusses the experience of learning to play and the impulses that brought him to music. Presented in association with Urban Zen.
