Your brain records your life like a movie soundtrack.
This is why THAT song makes me feel like that, and remember that.
A recent study proves that music, memory, and emotion are linked in the brain…the region of the brain that supports and retrieves memories—the medial pre-frontal cortex (just behind the forehead)—is also a hub linking memories, emotion, and familiar music.
…“What seems to happen is that a piece of familiar music serves as a soundtrack for a mental movie that starts playing in our head,” Janata said. “It calls back memories of a particular person or place, and you might all of a sudden see that person’s face in your mind’s eye. Now we can see the association between those two things—music and memory.”
