About this leqture:
Most people would say they enjoy listening to (certain types of) music. But what do we actually know about what music does to us? Music touches us quite literally and provides us with and elegant insight into brain development, cognition, behaviour and emotion and how this transfers to creativity and experiencing the world around us. How does the brain process, perceive and produce music and how can this be used in everyday life? In this scientific inspiration session, we will explore and learn about the influence of music on our brain and in turn our ability to improvise.
Over deze leqture:
De meeste mensen zouden zeggen dat ze graag naar (bepaalde soorten) muziek luisteren. Maar wat weten we eigenlijk over wat muziek met ons doet? Muziek raakt ons letterlijk en geeft ons een duidelijk inzicht in hersenontwikkeling, cognitie, gedrag en emotie en hoe dit zich vertaalt naar creativiteit en het ervaren van de wereld om ons heen. Hoe verwerken, waarnemen en produceren de hersenen muziek en hoe kan dit in het dagelijks leven worden gebruikt? In deze wetenschappelijke sessie onderzoeken we de invloed van muziek op ons brein en daarmee op ons vermogen om te improviseren.
