Name That Tune: The Science of the Musical Mind (HHS Only)
STEP: Staff Training in Extramural Programs
Why does hearing a few notes from a favorite song bring back memories? Why are we moved by different genres of music? Music is the universal language of the human spirit and touches nearly every aspect of our lives. Music is used for therapeutic purposes. Neuroimaging research has shown connections with cognitive and emotional functioning, giving us valuable information about how the brain works. This forum will explore the relationship between music and the human experience. Participants will engage in different forms and expressions of music.
