b"Music and our moods are intrinsically linked. We seek sad songs when we're blue, upbeat vibes to work out, maybe classical for a bit of zen. \\n\\nBut how does this work? What happens in your brain when you listen to music? And how can you use music strategically to boost your mood and your performance? \\n\\nMy guest today is Dr Sandra Garrido. Sandra is a pianist, a violinist, an author, a mum and researcher. She started studying law but found that she didn't really like arguing with people for a living, so she returned to University to study music and psychology and this has been the foundation of her career ever since.\\n \\nAt present Sandra is an NHMRC-ARC Dementia Research Fellow at the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development at Western Sydney University, exploring mood regulation using music and how we might use music to improve the quality of life in people with mild dementia.\\n\\nIn our podcast chat, Sandra and I explore:\\n\\n \\u2022Why music is important to humans\\n \\u2022The role music plays in our physiological, cognitive, social and emotional experience\\n \\u2022How music can positively effect our wellbeing\\n \\u2022Why the music of our teens years sticks with us throughout life, and\\n \\u2022Why we're drawn to sad songs when we're down - and how this can help and hinder us.\\n\\nTune in to learn why music moves us.\\n\\nFor more detail including a full transcript of the interview, visit potential.com.au/podcast.\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/potentialpsychology/message"
