• Ep. 1 The Science of Why We Love Music: Exploring Theories of Emotion and Sound

  Why do we love music? In this episode, we dive into the theories behind our deep emotional connection to sound. From gathering real people’s thoughts on why they love music to exploring music as a universal and historical art form, we touch on what makes it so powerful. We also break down the BRECVEMA model, a key psychological theory that explains our emotional connection to music. Tune in for a deep dive into the emotional power of sound, and discover how music moves us in ways we often don’t even realise.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro03:39 Music as a Universal and Historical Art Form08:33 The BRECVEMA Model: Understanding Music and Emotion09:33 Brain Stem Reflex: Evolutionary Responses to Sound12:56 Rhythmic Entrainment: Moving to the Music15:08 Evaluative Conditioning: Associating Music with Emotions18:41 Contagion: How Music Spreads Emotion21:42 Visual Imagery: Painting Pictures in Our Minds23:54 Episodic Memory: Reliving Our Lives Through Music27:09 Musical Expectancy: Predicting and Reacting to Sound29:55 Aesthetic Judgement: Deciding What Sounds Good32:59 Crowd Responses: Why We Love Music41:23 Summary and OutroRead more on Juslin's BRECVEMA theory:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23769678/Follow us on Instagram: @thesoundmindtalks
