The Science of Music (Bar Talk)

Music plays a central role in many people’s lives, both in terms of time and money spent on it. Yet, music is not necessary for survival – animals don’t make music; so why do all human cultures produce – and enjoy listening to it?

The emerging field of Music Psychology attempts to answer questions like that scientifically.

In this talk, Dr Pascal Wallisch  will address this and other questions, like “what is music?”, “why does it move us – but not others?”, “what does the music I like tell me about my personality?”,  “does our love for music grow the more we listen to it?” and many more.

Some of the answers may surprise you!

Pascal Wallisch serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU. His research interests are at the intersection of Psychology and Neuroscience, specifically Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience.
