So, I had seen something about finding links between music and epilepsy.  I didn’t really think much about it, but then I started reading about it.  Now it looks like they’re really on to something.

Apparently, music is perceived in the same place in the brain where seizures begin.  Through studies, neurologists have learned that the temporal lobes of people with epilepsy synch with music, as opposed to the brains of people without epilepsy.  These studies are not complete yet, but they think that listening to music to relax could help prevent seizures because one of the triggers for seizures is stress.

The links bellow offer more (and better) information.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
