How do our brains and music work in harmony?Humans have been creating music about falling in and out of love from time immemorial. Such music can have powerful effects on the human brain. Whenever a person engages with music, countless neurons are firing.
Playing an instrument requires all the resources of the nervous system, including cognitive, sensory, and motor functions, and can actually change the structure of our brains. Something as seemingly simple as listening to a tune involves mental faculties most of us don’t even realize we have. And when that music is a love song, the effects on our brains go to a whole new level.
This multi-media Valentine’s Day concert and lecture is a collaboration between the Portland Chamber Orchestra and Science on Tap, using music, visuals and science to show how our brains and music work in harmony.
