Episode 235 - Music & The Brain

from Dope Nostalgia · host Naomi Carmack

Dr. Kelly Jakubowski is a renowned professor of Music Psychology at Durham University in the UK. We discuss how music affects our brains. Is nostalgia healthy? We talk about the link between music & memories, remembering song lyrics from decades ago, thinking new music sucks and "ours" is the best, how music affects Dementia & Alzheimer's, perfect & relative pitch, and the song that gets stuck in your head, the earworm.
