Tuning In | How Music Moves Us — Academiegebouw, Groningen
Description was written before the event

Music can touch us deeply, influence our behaviour and connect people with one another. But what mechanisms underlie this, and what exactly happens in the brain when we listen?

Eleanor Harding explains how neurons in the brain literally move to the rhythm of music. Conductor and composer Sigutė Žurauskaitė and Karolien Dons, professor of Music in Context, show how music can create connection between people and their environment.

This programme is a collaboration with Klinkt als Noord and Research Centre Art & Society.
