Description  (Program not available for streaming) Can the power
of music make the brain come alive? Throughout his career Dr.
Oliver Sacks, neurologist and acclaimed author, has encountered
myriad patients who are struggling to cope with debilitating
medical conditions, including autism and Tourette's syndrome.
While their ailments vary, many have one thing in common: an
appreciation for the therapeutic effects of music. NOVA follows
four individuals—two of whom are Sacks's case studies—and even
peers into Sacks's own brain to investigate music's strange and
surprising power over the human mind.   Musical Minds  PBS
