Listen to Music
Michael explores why simply listening to music can improve your mood, lead to stronger relationships, reduce pain, and even alter connections in your brain.
Bring on the tunes! In this episode, Michael explores the power of music, from reducing pain to forging strong family relationships. Neuroscientist Dr Psyche Loui from Northeastern University in Boston reveals how just eight weeks of music listening can change activity in the brain, impacting our reward centres in our brain, and why this could be important for healthy ageing. Our volunteer Roberta has a go at βmindfulβ music listening with an eclectic range of music from Bollywood music to opera.
