Music and the Mind

EHST member Maura Breidt will discuss music and the effect it has on us: on our moods and on our minds. It is fairly well-known and accepted that playing an instrument is good for the brain, providing many positive effects on people of all ages. Playing music is good for a variety of brain functions, including improvement of neuroplasticity. It also has positive effects on emotional well-being and feelings of social connectedness. But what about listening to music? Are there benefits? If so, what are they? In this talk, we will look at both anecdotal and scientific evidence and discuss these questions.

This meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue, Extraordinary Ventures, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom, please email info@ncethicalsociety.org with your first and last name to be registered as an attendee for this program.
