I think there's some song that they heard on their first date, and they always go back to that moment.
Music.
I've had all kinds of experiences in my life, I know, where I hear a song during that experience, and years later, I'll hear the music, and I'm immediately transported back to that moment in time.
I think we all have that.
And again, that's powerful because of all the sensory stuff that's happening in our brains when we experience music.
And it ties into memory.
It ties into the memories that are associated with what you hear at the time, but also your memories for the types of music you like.
So there's a lot going on there.
There's been a lot of studies along those lines.
The most common studies these days are what we call functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, or fMRI.
And most people know what an MRI is.
If you've gone to the doctor and they want to have a really good look at what's happening in your body, you get an MRI.
These are the same machines, but they're doing something a little different.
They're actually looking at brain activity by looking at those tiny little blood vessels in the brain
And so people can be put in these MRI machines, which are very noisy and pretty claustrophobic, but you can put noise-canceling headphones on and have them lay flat and still and play music or actually have them think about creating music or even performing music with a non-metal musical instrument and then see what parts of the brain are lighting up or what parts are going down in terms of their activity.
And it's remarkable how many different areas light up.
So areas involved in all sorts of different sensory processing,
like we talked about memory, emotional processing, it all lights up.
And it lights up differently depending on what piece of music you play and the preference of the person who is in the fMRI machine.
Oh, very, very strong.
