Is beat induction special? (Part 6)

This week a brief update consisting of a short interview with Ani Patel (Senior Fellow at the Neuroscience Institute in San Diego, US) at a conference workshop at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) talking about Snowball: the dancing cockatoo that so gracefully helped boosting the visibility of research in the neuroscience and cognition of music. The other video  shows Snowball (and his owner Irene Schulz) at the World Science Festival. Is Snowball listening or imitating?



However, see earlier entry on beat induction for a critique.
