Kay Redfield Jamison, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center at the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine, convened a discussion of the
effects of depression on creativity.... Joining Jamison were two
distinguished colleagues from the fields of neurology and
neuropsychiatry, Dr. Terence Ketter and Dr. Peter Whybrow. The Music and the Brain series is co-sponsored by the Library's Music Division and
Science, Technology and Business Division, in cooperation with the Dana
Foundation.
The "Depression and Creativity" symposium marks the bicentennial of the birth of German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), who died after a severe depression following the death of
his sister, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, also a gifted composer.
One
of the nation's most influential writers on creativity and the mind, Kay Redfield Jamison is a noted authority on bipolar disorder. She is the co-author of the standard medical text on manic-depressive illness
and author of "Touched with Fire," "An Unquiet Mind," "Night Falls Fast"
and "Exuberance: The Vital Emotion."
Dr. Terence Ketter is known for extensive clinical work with exceptionally creative individuals and a strong interest in the relationship of creativity and madness. He is
professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and chief of the Bipolar
Disorders Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Peter Whybrow, an authority on depression and manic-depressive disease, is director of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also the
Judson Braun Distinguished Professor and executive chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

1:01:09 In our everyday lives, language and instrumental music are obviously
different things. Neuroscientist and musician Ani Patel is the author of
a recent, elegantly argued offering from Oxford University Press,
"Music, Language and the Brai...n." Oliver Sacks calls Patel a "pioneer in
the use of new concepts and technology to investigate the neural
correlates of music." In Patel's presentation, he discusses some of the
hidden connections between language and instrumental music that are
being uncovered by empirical scientific studies.
The Music and
the Brain Lecture Series is a cycle of lectures and special
presentations that highlight an explosion of new research in the rapidly
expanding field of "neuromusic." Programming is sponsored by the
Library's Music Division and its Science, Technology and Business
Division, in cooperation with the Dana Foundation.
Aniruddh Patel is the Esther J. Burnham Senior Fellow in Theoretical Neurobiology at the Neurosciences Institute.

54:48 Music employs a number of mechanisms for conveying emotion. Some of them
are shared with other modes of expression (speech, gesture) while
others are specific to music. The most unique way that music
communicates emotion is through the use... of contrastive scale types.
While Westerners are familiar with the major/minor distinction, the use
of contrastive scale types in world musics is universal.
Looking
at the expression of emotion in both Western and non-Western musics,
Brown invokes the theory of Clore and Ortony, who posit three categories
of emotions 1) "outcome" emotions related to the outcomes of
goal-directed actions (e.g., happiness, sadness); 2) "aesthetic"
emotions related to the appraisal of the quality of objects (e.g., like,
dislike); and 3) "moral" emotions related to an assessment of the
agency of individuals actions (e.g., praise, scorn). While
representational art-forms like theater or dance can represent all three
categories, music is probably most adept at expressing "outcome"
emotions, such those that sit along the happy/sad spectrum.
