For millennia, humans have used music to accompany virtually every activity. So, how does music affect us? Can it make us smarter? Can music heal? Do humans need music? This course answers each of these questions while exploring music as an agent of health and a tool that transcends entertainment. We'll turn to the latest science to see how music is being used to treat autism, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, mental illness, and more. We’ll especially look to 21st-century neuroscience, which allows us, for the first time in human history, to see, measure, and evaluate the effects of music on our brains. No prior training in music is necessary.
