Singing in the brain - Finding Your Science

The video explores how the brain, particularly the motor and sensory areas, responds to music and piano playing. It highlights the role of the auditory brainstem and the evolution of the cortex in shaping our sensory system. The video also discusses measuring brain responses through electrical events and the neural transcription process, emphasizing the fidelity between sound waves and brain waves. The challenge of understanding how the nervous system processes complex signals like speech and music is also addressed.
