The Beautiful Brain Podcast explores the latest findings from the ever-growing field of neuroscience, with particular attention to the dialogue between the arts and sciences. In this monthly program, host Noah Hutton reports on news from the world of brain science, interviews important thinkers about their work, and reviews new literature in the field. The show illuminates important new questions about creativity, the mind of the artist, and the mind of the observer that modern neuroscience is helping us to answer, or at least to provide part of an answer. Instances where art seeks to answer questions of a traditionally scientific nature are also of great interest, and for that reason you will hear from artists as well as scientists on The Beautiful Brain.

Courtesy of my favorite hip-hop blog, 2DOPEBOYZ comes a unique track from rapper Prince Ea, a St. Louis-born University of Missouri student. The track is called “The Brain,” and features Ea (pronounced “E”) performing “a lyrical look into the three-pound organ between the ears and behind the eyes.” Pretty impressive for the young MC. I look forward to hearing more of Prince Ea’s rhymes about science.
