Scientists claim that modern man receives 80% of information through vision, yet for billions of people, music remains the most intimate, emotional, and personally significant form of art.

How do sound waves reach the brain and what happens to them inside us? Why can music change our mood, inspire great deeds, or create comfort? How does the brain distinguish music from noise? How can one develop inner hearing and learn to perceive music in silence? Why our musical tastes evolve and is there such a thing as objective beauty in music?

Despite the efforts of thousands of researchers, from ancient to modern, the relationship between people and music remains a realm full of mysteries. In the lecture "Homo audiens" Yaroslav Timofeev will talk about the answers that have already been found, share his hypotheses and pose questions aimed at the distant future.
