    2010-2011 Penn Humanities Forum on Virtuality. Music exerts a powerful force over our minds and bodies, engaging us at least as fully as any other human activity. Yet, due to perceived lack of talent or expertise, many are excluded from performing or creating music themselves. Tod Machover, “America’s most wired composer”, will describe how the doors to musical expression are being opened by new tools and technologies, from animated operas to virtuosity simulators like Guitar Hero to medical devices that use music for rehabilitation.
