Why does music make us shiver? Can music repair broken networks, restore memory, and strengthen the brain? #Kerouac called it “the only truth.” #Shakespeare called it “the food of love.” #MayaAngelou called it “my refuge.” And now scientists are finally discovering what these thinkers, musicians, or even any of us with a #Spotify account and a set of headphones could have told you on instinct: music lights up multiple corners of the brain, strengthening our #neural networks, firing up memory and #emotion, and showing us what it means to be human. In fact, music is as essential to being human as language and may even predate it! Join us as we speak with neuroscientists and other experts in the fields of music and the brain as we pluck the notes of these fascinating phenomena. 🎻 Program details: bit.ly/musicshivers . . . . #worldsciencefestival #wsf18 #science #scientists #music #musicians #memory #facts #neuroscience #musical #newyork #newyorkcity #program #nyc #events #stem #question...
