Whether you attend a solemn religious ceremony or an alcohol-fuelled karaoke, Christmas is a time for music. From sublime carols to seasonal pop songs, Christmas provides the perfect opportunity to unleash our inner Diva. Even if Christmas is irrelevant to you, the pleasure of music is universal, an essential part of every human culture. Join the BNA at its annual Christmas Symposium to explore the neuroscience of music, from the mechanics of sound per-ception all the way through to the therapeutic uses of music, in an appreciation of The Musical Brain.
