In this episode of Tech Effects, we explore the impact of music on the brain and body. From listening to music to performing it, WIRED’s Peter Rubin looks at how music can change our moods, why we get the chills, and how it can actually change pathways in our brains.

How Does Music Affect Your Brain? | Tech Effects | WIRED
oh man i love music
I cannot live without the music being played. And music also is part of my chores.
Without music life would be a mistake.
Music is the closest thing to the concept of magic. Also politics but that’s the black magic.
What an amazing documentary this is! I have watched a lot of videos on musicians’ brains, and no one can beat yours! Great visual explanation, and you get straight to the point, making it easy for normal people (like me) who don’t understand science to grasp what’s going on in our brains while listening to or making music. Thank you so much.
Music is beautiful
those kids talked like harvert students
Daren
Music is bad or no?
This is why musicians can never go poor.
That gave me the goose bumps lol
This is so cool! 😻😻😻
Floated for a sec when you isolated that vocal
This was pure entertainment!
I love how smooth everything was!
I’m a big fan now!
What is the name of the phenomena when you feel goosebumps with certain musical notes? The transcript does not have it written properly. Thank you for your help.
