Music and the Brain
Recent research suggesta that music might affect our sex hormones, relieve stress and play significant part in improving both health in old age and literacy skills in young children. Just how does music affect our bodies through our brains? How do we hear, and why are some sounds ' musical ' and others not? How is it we can distinguish the sound of one instrument from another, the music of one composer from another.... and can personal preferences be explained? Why do some people seem more musical than others?
Educationist Dr Audrey Wisbey and neuro-biologist Professor Noel Dilly will, with Sue MacGregor , be listening for your questions. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit
Lines open from 8.0 am
