About this episode

Dr. Elizabeth Margulis discusses the phenomenon of musical daydreams and their implications for attention, creativity, and emotion.

Why does music so often – and effectively – transport us into vivid memories, imagined futures, or entirely different emotional worlds? Dr. Margulis has spent years studying the fascinating phenomenon of musical daydreams. She joins us to discuss her brand new book on the topic, and what these deeply human experiences reveal about attention, creativity, emotion, and connection in today's distracted world.
