In conversation with Daniel Levitin’s

‘This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession’ is a ground-breaking exploration of how our brains interact with music. Looking at why we make and love music, Daniel argues that music is fundamental to the human species, perhaps even more so than language itself. In this session he will be discussing his work with fellow author Daniel Rachel, covering themes such as why and how music gives us pleasure, why we are emotionally attached to it, and how we develop musical expertise.
