Got here via the carsonified weekly round up – dug the post too – amazing how certain teachers can have such a lasting impact – you gotta think the Scandinavians have their priorities right ;-)

I’m fascinated by the idea of establishing the optimum auditory environment for working – I have found that music that contains no distracting ‘words” works really well – Dance music, classical, and especially Jonsi and Sigur Ros (with their incomprehensible to me Icelandic!) make great music to work to without tying up the language centers.

Have been thinking of trying the white noise generator but it just seems a little “cold” and machine like.
