About

How does what we hear change what we see in our minds? Recent research published in Nature suggests that music does far more than influence emotion. It can shape the vividness, content, and meaning of the images we experience in our mind's eye. Join Dr Jon Prince to discover how sound shapes imagination and what this reveals about the way our minds create meaning from the world around us.

This presentation contains some adult content. Suitable for 16 +
