Musicogenic epilepsy

is a form of reflex or affective epilepsy, and involves

autonomic, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional reactions to selected

musical

stimuli.  The associated musicogenic seizures are generally believed to

be caused by the juxtaposition of musical sounds and frequencies that

are incomprehensible to the human brain, or that evoke emotional

reactions shocking to the psyche.  Sound frightening?  It's just the

normal state of things on Deedlecast, and this week's Deedlecast is

designed to get all your synapses firing:  This is your brain on

music.  If you happen to be prone to such seizures, please refrain from

enjoying Deedlecast while driving or operating heavy machinery.  Also, if a rude word or two flips your switch, be warned there are a few in this show.
