Are music students better at math? Do they get better standardized test scores? What is music education doing to the brain?
Neuroscientist Indre Viskontas joins us to discuss the cognitive benefits of musical training. Dr. Viskontas is also an opera singer turned stage director, an author, a podcaster, an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of San Francisco, the principal investigator for The Creative Brain Lab, and the communications core lead for the Sound Health Network (SHN). The SHN is a collaboration between the National Endowment for the Arts, the University of California San Francisco, The NIH, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which works to explore the intersections of music and health.
