Episode 54: Indre Viskontas on Music and the Brain
July 8, 2019 | Music, Thinking
It doesnāt mean much to say music affects your brain ā everything that happens to you affects your brain. But music affects your brain in certain specific ways, from changing our mood to helping us learn. As both a neuroscientist and an opera singer, Indre Viskontas is the ideal person to talk about the relationship between music and the brain. Her new book, How Music Can Make You Better, digs into why we love music, how it can unite and divide us, and how music has a special impact on the very young and the very old.

Jessica Grahn | Music on the Brain

Human Response to Rhythm
Can music change the way we move?
Jessica Grahn is a cognitive neuroscientist who chases the musical mysteries of the mind. For her, music and the brain inspire her to ask how and why does music make us move? How does music influence different types of movement, and how could we optimize this effect to help patients with neurological disorders?
Jessica, a musician herself, is curious about why humans have developed a musical culture (and why monkeys haven't) and how does musical or rhythmic ability relate to movement and language ability. This Assistant Professor at the Brain and Mind Institute and the Department of Psychology at the University of Western Ontario is using her neuro-musical insights to explore the age-old mystery of why some people can 'feel the beat', while others have two left feet.
