About this listen
In this episode, we explore what really happens inside our minds when we listen to music. Beyond emotion, music guides our thoughts, triggering memories, sparking imagination, or even pulling us into everyday mind-wandering. We dive into new research that maps these “thoughtscapes,” showing how different genres, emotional tones, and musical elements shape the mental journeys we take.
