thoughts on dementia and jazz

By colorful grey on February 15, 2014 6:06 am

OK so I was at a conference in Seattle all week. I didn't have my computer or audio interface or any instruments. All I had was my iPhone and my iPad and my clunky work computer... so there you go. By the way, the conference was about neuropsychology so that's why I thought about dementia. Jazz, I don't know. PS Seattle is pretty.

awesome tune! west-coasty vibes, in my opinion smile

really nice! Especially the vocal slices later on. Interesting and well done!

Checking out some of your older tracks. The title of this one caught my eye. You were at a conference about neuropsychology? Is this a research area of yours?

I love the track, too, especially if you only had an iPhone/Pad and a clunky work computer. Very nicely put together.

Haha, yes, I am in fact a neuropsychologist. I am mostly clinical, which is both wonderful and very very sad - I am basically the leukemia/lymphoma guy at a children's hospital. Dementia is, in fact, out of my league because it's adult neuropsych, but I was studying for the boards exam and was fascinated by the differential preservation of facts and skills in the fact of dementia. The story of the song is true - when you're dementing, you are likely to forget who the people around you are (explicit memory, mediated by cortical structures) but you will likely retain skills (implicit memory, subcortical). Fascinating stuff.

Thanks for listening! That's awesome!

I guess I should quote you because otherwise you won't know that I wrote the above... duh...
