In this podcast, hear about new insights into the complex relationship between music and cognition ⎮ 29 min 6 sec Listen
Music deeply affects us emotionally, and individually — and now we know that our relationship with music provides a unique opportunity to gain further insight into the workings of the brain itself. We discuss the latest in music research with one of the editors of The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Brain. Hear about why we may prefer particular types of music, how being a musician can change the brain over time, and what happens to our musicality as we age.
