1 00:00:01,045 --> 00:00:12,980 Music plays: "In the back of my mind, is a feeling, I'm going very slightly blind. Up in the front.." 2 00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:31,695 Female Speaks: The type of music his parents listen to can alter the baby's mood. Fast music will stimulate and excite him. (music plays) 3 00:00:31,695 --> 00:00:41,448 (muffled music plays) 4 00:00:41,448 --> 00:00:50,364 Music was as closest to the natural sounds and rhythms of the human voice, such as classical or choral music will have a sedating, calming effect. 5 00:00:50,364 --> 00:01:32,600 (slow music plays) 6 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:43,213 (Man reads poem) "Shall I tell you what I like? Choral music, sung with feeling! Rock and roll played too loud will have me banging on the ceiling. 7 00:01:43,213 --> 00:01:52,440 Give me a steady beat and I'll dance. But what I prefer is a slow pulse. 8 00:01:52,440 --> 00:02:00,897 Music that calms but almost hypnotizes. Shall I tell you what I don't like? Surprises.." 9 00:02:00,897 --> 00:02:10,360 (Radio scans and plays loudly.) 10 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,429 At 33 weeks the fetus may recognize a particular piece of music. And can even jump in time to it. 11 00:02:16,445 --> 00:02:56,040 (music continues to play) 12 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,653 Female Speaks: Where once it seemed that the mental development of a baby began at birth, 13 00:02:59,653 --> 00:03:05,400 now it appears birth could be a relatively insignificant event in developmental terms. 14 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:17,720 There is very little difference between the brain of a new born baby and that of a 32 week old fetus. He may have to support himself after birth, 15 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:27,888 but as for the process of thinking, learning, and remembering, he will already have been hard at work for 3 months. 16 00:03:39,436 --> 00:03:46,800 (Man continues poem.) "Its like there are two of us. The real me. The one you can't see. Who thinks and feels and loves, 17 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:56,960 and looks ahead. And the one you see, who lags behind. A victim of appetites and strange desires. 18 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:08,511 Utterly needs I can only guess at. Looking ahead, I see it now. A lifetime of being held back and weighed down. 19 00:04:08,511 --> 00:04:11,180 Will I ever be free? Of that me?"
