Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Why is it that a song can instantly change your mood and bring back vivid memories.   Princeton Professor Music Elizabeth Margulis says studies have shown music can do things that seeing images, tasting foods or scents typically can’t.   And scientifical experiments have shown people hearing the same song…with no connection to each other.. have nearly identical daydreams..while listening…

“We can bring people in, one at a time, different parts of the country, play them a song they’ve never heard before and they’ll give us incredible concrete imagery.  Like I pictured a cowboy out on a front stoop looking out over a ghost town as a tumbleweed blew through.”

Magulis is the author of a fun and fascinating new book…on my recommendation list… Transported -The Everyday Magic of Musical Daydreams.
