Today, we dive into the mysteries of how the brain perceives, learns, and tunes music. Brandon and Diana discuss how our brains respond to music, activating wide areas during listening and creation, and explore the complexity of perceiving musical intervals—especially octaves. As before, their inspiration comes from their new favorite podcast from Finland, "Mitä tulisi tietää?" where Mikko Siltala interviews musician-researcher Jussi Jaatinen, who sheds light on the relationship between the brain and music, blending artistic experience with scientific understanding. The episode also touches on the importance of active listening, the unique characteristics of musicians' brains, as well as the phenomenon of octave stretching and its historical and practical significance in music.Original Podcast: Mitä tulisi tietää?Original Host: Mikko SiltalaOriginal Guest: Jussi JaatinenWatch original podcast with subtitles. www.youtube.com/mikkosiltalaThis show Includes AI generated content by notebookLM Hosted on Acast.
