...That gave people something interesting to listen to. Our brain loves pattern." Some of Bach's music scored highly, as did works by Mendelssohn and Haydn. But Mozart's musical sequences tend to repeat regularly every 20-30 seconds, which is about the same length of time as brain-wave patterns and other functions of the central nervous system. His conclusion is that the frequency of patterns in Mozart's music counteracts irregular firing patterns of epilepsy patients. Unlike the IQ tests, Hughes says, the response he measured has nothing to do with theories of mood and arousal: "Most...

God grant that we lose no more soldiers. But let's not leave before the job is done. Michael Martinez Houston...
...Thailand and nearly 300,000 around the region a year ago. The memorial's design is being chosen through an international competition whose key mandates are harmony with nature, and subtlety: abstract references to the disaster are preferred to literal representations. "We didn't want any design involving waves," says one of the seven jurors, Swedish interior architect Jonas Bohlin. "If you've been through the tsunami, you don't want to walk under a wave again." After sifting through 379 entries from 43 countries, the jury picked these five finalists last month. The winner will be announced...
