Annett Schirmer and her graduate student Nicolas Escoffier recently presented a study on the effects of rhythmic sound at the 2012 Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting (http://www.sfn.org/am2012/), a major conference that attracts more than 30,000 attendees.

Their work has attracted attention from Scientific American, the leading source and authority for science, technology information and policy for a general audience, and has been featured as a blog entry on the Scientific American site (http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2012/10/19/the-power-of-music-mind-control-by-rhythmic-sound/). Well done, Annett & Nicolas!
