How We Process Music | Neuroscience for Musicians

Music is a human universal.
Follow the journey of music from waves in the air, to magic in your mind. Experience the different stops along the way - the ear and cochlea, the ascending brainstem nuclei, the pathways through your cortex, and the limbic core of your brain. Learn how music, this powerful and mysterious art form, is processed in your brain.

Welcome to Neuroscience for Musicians - a world of sound and color, that all exists in your own head. Why does music make you feel the way it does? How does learning music shape and change your brain? How do we freestyle and improvise music? Modern neuroscience is beginning to find the answers. Follow the course of my research as we dive into an understanding of ourselves, music, and our brains.
