Brain v. Body: Who gets aux?
Science and songs about the brain-body connection and consequences of disconnection. Fun facts and figures:
- 90-95% of serotonin is produced in the gut
- you can SMELL fear (and then react to it!) without conscious perception
- ancient Babylonians thought consciousness was in the liver
- having butterflies is a physiological phenomenon
- accordingly, Sade's original banger was called "Liver's Rock"*
Music from:
- Sade duh
- James Brown
- Anita Baker
- Death Cab for Cutie
- The Temptations
- Billie Eyelash (ik- this is so rare that I don't even know how to spell this name properly but made it body part to be on theme)
- and MORE
Listen if curious
*this is a joke. But listen to the song thinking this and tell me you don't smile
What is EMUSE with Emma Speer?
“I feel; therefore I am.”
Emuse is a show composed of curiosity and sustained by song. Each show has a theme, and Emma incorporates songs, speeches, poetry, and stories to explore the theme from as many angles as possible within the three hours. Although the medium is audio, Emuse activates all senses, including humor!
