How Music Can Heal the Brain

Thanks to Blinkist for sponsoring this episode. The first 100 people to go to http://blinkist.com/scishowpsych are going to get unlimited access for 1 week to try it out. You’ll also get 25% off if you want the full membership. Sometimes you hear music and you automatically tap your foot, or do a little dance, or walk to the beat. What’s happening in your brain that makes your body move like that? Can music’s effects on movement or speech rewire your brain?
