Music represents who we are, how we feel, and what we remember
- One reason why music has become so intertwined with how we express and comfort ourselves is because listening to music releases dopamine in the brain.
- Music awakens our memory. When we can identify pieces of music, we can bring back memories associated with the music.
- Music can also have an emotional impact. Even if you identify a short piece of music, you have a musical imagery experience that triggers the memory of the whole piece of music and its associated memories.
