Studies have shown that when we listen to music, we utilize the same parts of our brain that processes memory and emotion. That’s why listening evokes strong feelings, connecting us with the source of those sounds. It’s natural for the human brain to associate specific types of music with an object, a place, or a person. Savvy film makers and advertisers understand this connection and use the science to create an emotional bond between the listener and their brand or storyline.
