Arts Empowering Life presents Arts & Entertainment Lecture

Come and explore how the music we love the most reveals our sense of self and provides a way for us to share ourselves with others. Professor of cognitive neuroscience, author, and former multiplatinum-earning record producer (Prince, David Byrne, Barenaked Ladies) Susan Rogers presents a new model of music cognition describing the listener profile—a set of mental “sweet spots” where music’s features lead to the individual’s strongest response. Just as we do with food and clothing, our musical taste forms over a lifetime of positive and negative experiences to create a unique profile for each music lover.
