Music and memories with Dr. Myra Fernandes

On the Mind Full podcast we are always keen on talking about music. Popular music, and the music we heard often in our formative years, can hold memories for us, and hearing a certain tune can unlock memories we might not otherwise access on a regular basis. Today's guest, Dr. Myra Fernandes, recently published a study with Pelin Tanberg and Ryan Yeung at the University of Waterloo that tells us even more about music and memory, and the specific relationship between the two.
