*The Amygdaloids New CD "BrainStorm" is now available*
What do you get when you mix the son of a Louisiana butcher, a dome builder, a philosophy major, and an ex-Israeli solider? NYU scientists who play rock n' roll, of course. Joseph LeDoux, Daniela Schiller, and Nina Galbraith Curley are neuroscientists who study emotion and memory functions of the brain, and Tyler Volk is an environmental scientist who has also written about mind and brain. Their songs are about brain, mind, and mental disorders (Mind-Body Problem, An Emotional Brain, All in a Nut, Memory Pill, and so on). We call our music "Heavy Mental."
The Amygdaloids are attracting attention. Seenycmusic.net

Thanks The Amygdaloids for adding me to your friends! Im a silversmith jewelry artist speciallized in fleur-de-lis & custom jewelry visit my page & let me know what you think!
Joe, I worked in your lab way back in the summer of 2002. On temporal discrimination of fear with June-Seek Choi. I talked to you a couple times. You even wrote (technically) me a recommendation for medical school, which is where I am now. You still writing books?
I'm pretty excited to be myspace friends with you guys. I worked in your lab, Dr LeDoux, briefly, many years ago. You should play at some interesting brainy conference in new orleans sometime. I miss real science now that I'm studying all this clinical hocus pocus.
