Nina Kraus, Ph.D., Professor of Neurobiology and Otolaryngology at Northwestern University, speaks on the topic of her book, Of Sound Mind: How Our Brain Constructs a Meaningful Sonic World. Hearing a cry or a word or a bird call or a chord brings forth different, specific reactions in each of our brains. How we engage with those sounds, tuning them up or down, and in or out, is a lifelong process that changes the brain along the way. The brain and sound each inform the other from the moment we are born through old age. In this discourse, Kraus uses her 30 years’ experience studying the interplay of the brain and sound to show for the first time that the processing of sound drives many of the brain’s core functions.
