Does sound have more to do with our nerves than electricity?
An interesting idea, but if it were true, I think they need to consider what that would mean.
If nerve impulses do consist of sound impulses rather than electrical impulses, then how does the sound of the everyday world not affect our nerve impulses?
I know that the emotional connectivity tthat can be felt at a gig owes more to tribalism ( and possibly chemistry...) than it does to nerve impulses - how can we know the affect that different classes of music will have on a fundamental aspect of our being?

Breakthrough research on HIV
HIV is such a formidabl foe due to the fact that it constantly mutates in addition to being covered in layers of sugary molecules that make it near impossible for anti-bodies to bind with and destroy it.
LInk to New Scientist article »
Scientists have long known that at least one protein in the HIV virus must remain stable to allow it to bind with human cells and do its thing.
They have sucessfully gathered enough information about the structure of the protein to facilitate what should be fruitful research toward producing a vaccine for HIV.
Good work lads! Another feather in the cap of godless heathens everywhere!
