Yale Fox, a New York City-based DJ who studies the mystery of why humans love music, wrote to let us know about an interesting TEDx Talk of his that looks using nightclubs as a lab for studying nightlife and music.

Fox talks about research on social nightclub behavior, how the stock market affects what music becomes popular and women’s clothing trends and more.

Fox blogs about the science behind nightlife culture, robo-divas, how music volume affects alcohol consumption and the cognitive dissonance of breast implants at DarwinVsTheMachine.
