Despite being unable to play an instrument, Susan Rogers became an extraordinarily successful record producer - and certainly one of the most successful women record producers in history - because of her ability to listen. (She was an engineer on Prince's "When Doves Cry", which inspired the title of the book.) This is What It Sounds Like distils a lifetime's expertise as a producer and an award-winning professor with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, to present a new theory of listening for everyday music fans. Each person has a unique identity as a listener, she explains, determined by seven influential dimensions of musical listening- authenticity, realism, novelty, melody, lyrics, rhythm and timbre. In helping readers understand and embrace their personal musical identity, Rogers explores the different ways music appeals to our mind and body, how falling in love with a song is a lot like falling in love with a person, and what your preferred music reveals about what you need to feel whole. Told in a lively, empathetic style, with fascinating stories of encounters with musicians from Prince to Miles Davis to David Byrne, This is What it Sounds Like will change your musical life.

Two neuroscientists trace a sweeping new vision of consciousness across eighteen increasingly intelligent minds, from microbes to humankind and beyond

Two maverick neuroscientists utilize the Internet—the largest psychology experiment—to explore the private activities of millions globally, revealing a revolutionary perspective on human desire that challenges conventional beliefs. Alfred Kinsey's sexual research involved interviewing 18,000 individuals, who were asked to candidly share their intimate experiences. In contrast, Ogas and Gaddam observed the raw sexual behaviors of half a billion people online. By merging their findings with neuroscience and animal behavior research, they address the long-standing question of what people truly desire. Their analysis of a "billion wicked thoughts" includes extensive data from web searches, individual histories, erotic stories, videos, and personal ads to uncover key differences in male and female desires. Their findings reveal that men and women have distinct hardwired sexual cues, with men’s brains resembling reckless hunters and women’s resembling cautious detectives. Men’s sexual interests are formed in adolescence and remain stable, while women’s are more fluid. The male brain is an "or gate," responding to single stimuli, whereas the female brain is an "and gate," needing multiple stimuli. Interestingly, men show a preference for overweight women and seek erotic images of older women. Women enjoy sharing erotic stories, particularly about two heterosexual men. The male sexual brain differs significantly from the female's, ye
