Why do Songs Stick in Our Heads. The Fascinating Link Between Music and Memory

Have you ever wondered why certain songs get stuck in your head or why certain memories are triggered when listening to music? In this episode we get into a mind-blowing discussion about everything from ear worms to how music can be applied as an Alzheimer's therapy.

We’re joined by Dr. Kelly Jakubowski, a researcher specializing in music and memory. Kelly is an Assistant Professor of Music Psychology at Durham University in the UK. She studied Music Performance (on the violin) and Music Theory for her undergrad at Baldwin Wallace University - and her Masters at Ohio State. She then pursued an MSc and PhD in music psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
