How music makes me a better neuroscientist
Summary
This is a really artistic work like poetry and already opera. Somehow, I really love this talk because l felt that why the speaker didn’t give up the music and my thoughts for studying English were very alike.

Music is universally loved but hopelessly undervalued because it’s difficult to make a living as a musician in society. Simply, the speaker thought that she would go to medical school and in her free time, continue singing, though, she knew that in the medical school, she wouldn’t have time to practice singing from her brother. She really wanted to pay for expensive singing lessons thus she turned to neuroscience. It was the perfect blend of science and poetry, it would be better for understanding what she loved to use science. However, it was different to know about anatomical drawings of the tongue and diaphragm, it remained her only self-loathing.

She decided to dedicate herself full time to the music.

However, most of the techniques of producing great sounds for singing have been to repeat exercises over and over again. After all, she realized that neuroscience could help her and she became a teacher to teach a new course called Training the Music Brain. It’s to teach how to use neuroscience to develop more effective practice, so she hit upon ideas that science must make her a better musician in this generation. To feel the music and to produce music that other people feel are different skills, though, art and science seem to have the same goal that is to understand the human experience. Science will be shown by general principles and art uses individual experience. When those two work well after repeating practices, people can hear great music. Working brain well must mean that dopamine that is science chemical is awash in the brain. The working of the brain and seeking the reward of pleasure is set up a reputation. It continues searching the best.

P.S. A person who played the piano in the story was Japanese and it made me have pride. Lastly, l want you to listen to the last part where it’s at 16:02 because l can hear it “SAYONARA”, though, Transcript has been written with “Setting that up?”.
Listen to its part again, please. This is the most moving part, piano music starts, and the speaker starts singing opera.
