WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Join Dr. Petr Janata for an evening workshop dedicated to providing an introduction to the ways in which the human brain enables musical experiences. This lecture, followed by a Q & A session, focuses on explaining the underlying psychological mechanisms of music-evoked remembering — feeling “in the groove,” songs getting stuck in your head and experiencing pleasure from hearing music — and how these elements manifest in the human brain. This is the fifth course in the Integrative Sound & Music Certificate Program — a 12-part, 9-month intensive study of the power of sound and music — and can be taken as either part of the SMI Certificate Program or individually.
Topic highlights include:
- Integrate knowledge of how psychological mechanisms of perception, action, attention, memory and emotion ultimately shape how we experience music.
- Transcend notions of brain areas devoted to either hearing or playing music
- Learn more about the brain’s functional neuroanatomy
