Music is being used to manipulate our emotions, and we tend to accept, if not outright enjoy, the power of music to make us experience these different feelings.

But no one until now has taken all this new work together and used it to elucidate what is for me the most beautiful human obsession. Your brain on music is a way to understand the deepest mysteries of human nature.

By better understanding what music is and where it comes from, we
may be able to better understand our motives, fears, desires, memories,and even communication in the broadest sense. Is music listening more along the lines of eating when you’re hungry, and thus satisfying an urge?
Or is it more like seeing a beautiful sunset or getting a backrub, which triggers sensory pleasure systems in the brain? Why do people seem to get stuck in their musical tastes as they grow older and cease experimenting with new music? This is the story of how brains and music coevolved—what music can teach us about the brain, what the brain can teach us about music, and what both can teach us about ourselves.

My dear few watchers,
I am still alive and kicking.
I've taken some (many) pics, but the time is my enemy (for the moment at least).
I hope one glorious day i will submit some of them.
