The Neuromantics
Season 1
Episode 8
The pleasure of making and listening to music. Is it universal? Or is it a very varied experience? The Neuromantics – author Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – explore our neurological responses to music and ask how these may have changed over the years and with technological developments. What role has ritual to play? How does music help us communicate? And why should taste and culture be such strong influences on our listening habits? As ever the professor and the writer share their scientific and literary offerings and veer off into some eye-opening asides (the surprisingly strict rules of polyamorous engagement and rubber clubbing gear among them.)
