Neuroscientists are closing in on a striking idea: some brain cells appear to be tuned specifically to music, firing in patterns that let us anticipate the next note before it arrives. Instead of ...

Unlike today’s algorithms that guess songs based on previous enjoyment, this brain-reading approach knows what’s working now.

In two separate studies, researchers learned more about the way that our brains respond to music. One study found that brain neurons synchronize with musical rhythms, while the other showed how ...

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, neuroscientists at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute are taking advantage of ...

The relationship between music and the human brain has fascinated neuroscientists for decades. While meditation has long been celebrated for its cognitive benefits, recent neurological research ...

We enjoy music not just through our ears, but also the rest of our body. When the music hits just right, we tap our feet, snap our fingers and begin to move — impulses that are near irresistible. This ...
