Old Man In Nursing Home Reacts To Hearing Music From His Era
I think there is a very real possibility for patients with dementia/Alzheimer’s disease that using music/ strongly stored memories could help the brain retain/regain function. If you look at the connections in our brains like roads, with degenerative disease, these roads break down and can be entirely removed. So if you can help the brain find appropriate detours, such as using Old highways that the new ones were supposed to fix, these could function as a backup way to route the traffic our brain normally handles.

M.I.T. Game-Changer: Free Online Education For All
un:
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) will announce on Monday that they intend to launch an online learning initiative called M.I.T.x,which will offer the online teaching of M.I.T. courses free of charge to anyone in the world.
The program will not allow students to earn an M.I.T. degree. Instead, those who are able to exhibit a mastery of the subjects taught on the platform will receive an official certificate of completion. The certificate will obviously not carry the weight of a traditional M.I.T. diploma, but it will provide an incentive to finish the online material. According to the New York Times, in order to prevent confusion, the certificate will be a credential bearing the distinct name of a new not-for-profit body that will be created within M.I.T.
The new online platform will look to build upon the decade-long success of the university’s original free online platform, OpenCourseWare (OCW), which has been used by over 100 million students and contains course material for roughly 2,100 classes. The new M.I.T.x online program will not compete with OCW in the number of courses that it offers. However, the program will offer students a greater interactive experience.
Disruptive technologies have overturned music, books, governments, why not education? I hope this to be the beginning of free or reasonable cost educations for everyone everywhere.
