Announcing a new web site containing information about the M.I.N.D. Institute

Music Intelligence Neural Development Institute (MI)

What Is The M.I.N.D. Institute (MI)?

    The Music Intelligence Neural Development Institute is a
    community based, non-profit, interdisciplinary basic
    scientific research institute which was formed in 1997, by
    the team of scientists that did the dramatic and ground
    breaking research (see below) that used music as a window
    into higher brain function. At the core of this resarch is the
    structured trion model of higher brain function that makes 
    clear predictions about the relationship of music and the 
    neural machinery of mammalian cortex. Results from behavioral 
    studies confirming these predictions have received world-wide 
    media and public attention.

    The goal of the MI is not only to understand the neural 
    machinery of higher brain function and perform innovative 
    behavioral studies, but to channel the results back into 
    society to the benefit of education and medicine.

  Dr. Gordon Shaw and colleagues on the "Mozart Effect" and 
  enancement of spatial-temporal reasoning as a result of keyboard 
  music lessons.
