So anyway so we ended up making our own book scanner, and with two digital, high grade, professional digital cameras, controlled museum lighting, so even if it's a black and white book, you can go and get the proper intonation.

Seeing this video of Gabby Giffords reminded me of the work of Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, one of the preeminent neuroscientists studying music and the brain at Harvard, and Schlaug is a proponent of a therapy called Melodic Intonation Therapy, which has become very popular in music therapy now.
