#11. How Does the Brain Enable Us To Perceive, Make Sense Of, and Learn From Sound?

Nina Kraus is a scientist, inventor, and amateur musician who studies the biology of auditory learning, its connection to other sense modalities, to physical and mental health, and especially to music and language. A professor at Northwestern University, and the Director of Brainvolts Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, she describes her recent book, Of Sound Mind, as her love letter to sound, how sound connects us, makes us humans who we are, how it affects the world, and its implications for education, health, and social policy.
