Elizabeth Alker presents the Breakfast programme live from London's Wellcome Collection as part of Why Music? The Key to Memory, a weekend of events, concerts and discussions exploring the implications of music's unique capacity to be remembered.

And Georgia Mann finds out about another of the extraordinary objects on display at Wellcome Collection, a scary-looking, knee-high Japanese-made figure whose purpose was to help students of acupuncture find the right spot for their needles.
