This is universal true not only for music. You can use this technique for every thing you do. I call it listening with your body and can be used in sport, science, social interaction and so on. I am glad I saw this movie, because I can see there are more “weird” persons, like me, in the world.

and also the separate advertisement that these talk are about “sharing ideas” and “remarkable people” – having to advertise it explicitly, gives the opposite message implicitly. again, I love the talks but I hate the whole TED image.

i think the fact that she’s deaf was an advantage for her in terms of “feeling the music” since how else would she experience it?
