    Kreativität: Wie unser Denken die Welt immer wieder neu erschafft
    Ein faszinierendes Duett von Neurowissenschaft und Kunst. Der weltbekannte Hirnforscher David Eagleman und sein Freund, der Komponist Anthony Brandt, widmen sich in ihrem Hörbuch der Frage, wie das kreative Neue entsteht. Dabei blicken sie auf die kreative Software des Gehirns: Wie funktioniert sie? Was machen wir damit? Wohin führt sie uns? Es erweist sich, dass der kreative Prozess vor allem von drei Fähigkeiten des Gehirns abhängt: Biegung, Brechung und Verbindung. An vielen Beispielen, von der Raumfahrt über die Wirtschaft und die Kunst bis zum Sport, demonstrieren die Autoren, wie unser Denken die Welt immer wieder neu erschafft.

    From Sleep
    Der britische Komponist Max Richter, der zuletzt durch seine Re-Komposition der Vier Jahreszeiten von Vivaldi für Furore sorgte, hat das wohl längste je aufgenommene einteilige klassische Musikstück geschrieben. SLEEP dauert acht Stunden - und soll den Zuhörer zum Einschlafen bringen. "Es ist ein achtstündiges Wiegenlied", erklärt Richter. Das Werk ist für Klavier, Streicher, Elektronik und Gesangsstimme geschrieben und ist Richters "Manifest für eine langsamere Gangart des Lebens". Am 4. September erscheinen bei Deutsche Grammophon die achtstündige Fassung als digitales Album und zudem eine einstündige Version - from SLEEP - als CD, Vinyl, und Download. SLEEP ist zum einen ein Experiment, mit dem Richter herausfinden will, "wie das Gehirn Lebensraum für die Musik sein kann, wenn unser Bewusstsein Urlaub hat". Während der Komposition befragte Richter den angesehenen amerikanischen Neurowissenschaftler David Eagleman, um mehr über die Gehirnfunktionen beim Schlafen zu erfahren. Musikalisch steht das Werk durch seine Länge in der Tradition eines John Cage, Terry Riley oder LaMonte Young, als Wiegenlied blickt das Werk auf eine jahrhundertelange Geschichte zurück, angefangen mit Bachs Goldbergvariationen, die für einen schlaflosen Grafen geschrieben wurden, bis zu Gustav Mahlers Nachtmusik 1 und 2 aus der 7. Symphonie, um nur einige prominente Beispiele zu nennen.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Mind and Brain, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, philosopher David Chalmers is famous for outlining the "hard problem of consciousness." He says the materialist framework of science will never be able to explain subjective experience - our thoughts and feelings, the expereince of joy or sorrow, self-awareness. Next, neuroscientist David Eagleman says most of the brain's real action happens below the level of the conscious mind. He tells Anne Strainchamps that the brain can be described as "a team of rivals," with different mental functions competing against each other.Then, the laws of physics and biology can explain just about everything about the world we live in, but consciousness is immaterial. So how does something as physical - as wet and gooshy - as the brain produce something as insubstantial as thought? Steve Paulson reports on the conflicting viewpoints of various scientists and philosophers.After that, no creature is more mysterious and amazing than the octopus. Science writer Sy Montgomery discovered this first-hand when she met Athena, an octopus at the New England Aquarium. Following that, philosopher Alva Noe says it's a mistake to regard consciousness as strictly a product of our brain. He says consciousness is something we do; it springs from our body's interactin with the world around us.And finally, pianist Vijay Iyer is one of the most original jazz musicians of his generation. He also has a Ph.D. in music cognition and the rare ability to describe the interplay between music and the brain. [Broadcast Date: July 19, 2013] Language: English. Narrator: Jim Fleming.
