    48. sex, drugs, goosebumps and neuroscience in music
    Sep 18 2025

    🎶 Ever had a song give you goosebumps? That shiver down your spine has a scientific name: frisson. And it’s not magic—it’s a full-blown neurological symphony. 🧠

    In this episode, we explore the secrets behind music's most powerful emotional punch. We’re cracking open the science of your brain on music, featuring:

    ⚡ The Dopamine Effect: How your brain's reward system anticipates a musical climax and rewards you for it.
    🎻 The Composer's Toolkit: The specific techniques—like unexpected harmonies and sweeping crescendos—that masterfully manipulate our brain chemistry.
    ❤️ The Full Neurochemical Cocktail: Beyond dopamine, we explore the roles of oxytocin, cortisol, and endorphins in creating cathartic musical experiences.
    ⚠️ The Darker Chord: We tackle the complex, tragic link between musical genius, heightened sensitivity, and addiction. Are they wired to the same source?

    Join us for a deep dive into the neuroscience of sound, where classical masterpieces help us understand the universal human experience of getting chills from a perfect piece of music.

    Perfect for fans of music psychology, neuroscience, and anyone who’s ever been moved by a song.
