Seed Talks – The Neuroscience of Music with Dr. Shane Cassidy

About this event
From early childhood, music engages our brain’s auditory and motor systems, allowing us to instinctively respond to rhythms and melodies.
In this insightful talk, we will explore the complex ways in which the brain processes musical sound, and how rhythm, melody, and harmony can shape movement, speech, and cognitive functions like attention and decision-making.
Through real-life examples, hands-on activities, and the latest research, you’ll discover how music is enhancing lives and promoting healing.
