Gordon Shaw
Gordon L Shaw, the American scienist who became known for his research about the effects of classical music on the human mind, died in Laguna Beach on 26 April 2005, aged 72, following a battle with cancer. Shaw's study of 1993, about students whose IQ grew significantly after listening to a Mozart sonata, brought him wide acclaim. In 1998, he founded an institute to foster research about the relationship between classical music and learning. He also wrote the book Keeping Mozart in Mind.
