The Philosophy of Music. 1.
What Is Music? 1.1 Beyond ‘Pure’ Music In most of this entry, the discussion focuses on ‘pure’ or ‘absolute’ music – instrumental music that has no accompanying non-musical components. Most of the philosophers whose work is discussed below also put the focus here, and there are three reasons to do so. The first is that pure music often presents the most difficult philosophical problems. Given the global prevalence of rock music, broadly construed, it is plausible that song is the most common kind of music listened to in the contemporary world. 1.2 The Definition of ‘Music’ Explications of the concept of music usually begin with the idea that music is organized sound.
The main problem with the first kind of condition is that every sound seems capable of being included in a musical performance, and thus characterizing the essentially musical features of sounds seems hopeless. Having discussed additional conditions, it's worth returning to the basic idea of ‘organized sound’. 2. 3. 4. 5. Ernest Hartmann M.D.- Dreaming Boundaries Nightmares. Boundaries of the mind. Thin and thick boundaries[edit] Measurement[edit] The Boundary Questionnaire consists of 145 five-point scales covering the following 12 areas: sleep/wake/dreamsunusual experiencesthoughts/feelings/moodchildhood/adolescence/adulthoodinterpersonal relationshipssensitivityneat/exact/preciseedges/lines/clothingopinions about childrenopinions about organisationsopinions about people, nations, and groupsopinions about beauty and truth.
Additionally, a total score (SumBound) reflecting boundary thinness was derived by summing the ratings of 138 items. Relationship to other personality traits[edit] Psychopathology[edit] Persons diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder or with borderline personality disorder tend to have thinner boundaries than the rest of the population, whereas people with obsessive-compulsive disorder tend to have thicker boundaries.

Is this the first ever direct evidence for human mirror neurons? Mirror neurons are one of the most hyped concepts in psychology and neurocience.
V.S. Ramachandran famously wrote that they will 'do for psychology what DNA did for biology'. Although recordings from single cells in the brains of monkeys have identified 'mirror' neurons that respond both to the execution of a movement and the observation of another agent performing that same movement, the existence of such cells in humans has, up until now, been inferred only from indirect evidence, particularly brain imaging. Now Roy Mukamel and colleagues have provided what appears to be the first ever direct evidence, using implanted electrode recordings of single cells, for the existence of mirror neurons in humans.
