Nevertheless, on the other hand, it could lead to another level of research into brain synchronization.
My question would be:
How would the brain of a rapper connect with a metal guitarist, or a harmonica player with a didgeridoo?
BLAKE IT UP! has got it.
There are far more serious things to be studied that would have a greater impact. When the government is having to borrow money to operate. I.E. deficit spending. That necessarily means one should be careful with the tax payers money. They should perhaps in austere times not worry about Vulcan style guitar player mind melding exercises. Just to then hand the research bill over to the next generation to pay back. This institute is funded 80% from tax payers monies.
