Renee Fleming
The evening before her performance at Bing, Renee Fleming spoke about the connections between music, health, and neuroscience in a presentation with Dean Lloyd Minor, and Dr. Josef Parvizi, Professor of Neurology at Stanford Medical School, who, along with Dr. Chris Jaffe, developed the Brain Stethoscope, and Dr. Charles Limb, Chief of Otology, Neurotology, and Skull Base Surgery at UCSF (and former student of Dean Minor’s). The presentation, sponsored by the Medicine and the Muse program and Stanford Live, was inspired by the Sound Health initiative, which Fleming spearheaded with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Institutes of Health, in association with the National Endowment for the Arts. For that initiative, Fleming agreed to be in an fMRI for two hours while she sang opera and spoke, allowing researchers to record the difference in brain activity. At the presentation, Fleming sang while an image of her brain with active regions highlighted rotated in the background.
