He writes about how music improves the lives of 2. , hospital patients, and common people. The stories he writes explain the science of the brain and the way it works. It also tells stories about the experiences of people trying hard to live with 3. conditions.

Another interesting example is a man whose memory usually lasts only seven seconds, 4. when he listens to music. 5. he hears music, his mind becomes very sharp, with a near-perfect memory.
