Music is embedded in the fabric of human culture and evokes a powerful emotional and cognitive response that lasts a lifetime. It is the universal language connecting people, cultures and generations. 

The mathematics of music from Beethoven to Bacharach stimulate the brain in amazing ways and provides a gateway to cognitive longevity that can improve our memory and intellect as we age. 

In this episode of The Art of Understanding, we explore the fascinating science behind how we experience music. From the way our brains decode rhythm and melody to the deep emotional and cognitive effects of music, you will discover why music is such a fundamental part of cognitive growth and wellbeing.

Join us as we talk with neuroscientists, musicians, and psychologists to break down the connection between sound, memory, and emotion and how music can serve as a key that unlocks your cognitive power.
