ABOUT
Over the past decade, music has sparked growing interest among neuroscientists exploring its effects on the brain. By activating nearly all areas of the brain and stimulating neural plasticity, it has emerged as a promising therapeutic tool capable of reducing stress and even contributing to the treatment of certain conditions. Why does music have such a powerful effect on our minds and bodies? What mechanisms are at work when we listen to or play music? Can it truly become an ally for our health?
