What is it about music that can have such a strong effect on our emotions? Are we born with a sense of music? Why did the ability to respond to music evolve over time in humans? We will view and discuss the title Teaching Company course, presented by Prof. Aniruddh Patel, a noted neuroscientist and psychology professor at Tufts University. Craig Stephan is a retired physicist, leader of previous OLLI courses on the science of climate change and a "wannabe" pianist. Prerequisites: a love of music and a curiosity about why we have it. This class for adults over 50 meets Mondays through Dec 5th.
