Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and IdeasIndre Viskontas on Music and the BrainIt doesn’t mean much to say music affects your brain — everything that happens to you affects your brain. But music affects your brain in certain specific ways, from changing our mood to helping us learn. As both a neuroscientist and an opera singer, Indre Viskontas is the ideal person to talk about the relationship between music and the brain. Her new book, How Music Can Make You Better, digs into why we love music, how it can unite and divide us, and how music has a special impact on the very young and the very old. Support Mindscape on Patreon...2019-07-081h 15The Dr. Drew PodcastIndre Viskontas and Jordan HarbingerIndre is joined by Jordan Harbinger and we discuss some of her favorite interviews, we also get into a deep discussion about our brains, the source of consciousness and regions responsible for feeling, affects and a sense of self. Indre discusses her new book 'How Music Can Make You Better' and why Indre believes “Music isn't music until the brain makes it so.” Jordan discussed cognitive distortions and logical fallacies and Indre addressed why we have such difficulty with logical discourse today.
