Music And Creativity

The video introduces Parag Chordia, a music professor researching the cognitive neuroscience of creativity. Supported by the National Science Foundation, his work explores how music influences abstract thinking and creativity, crucial for innovation in engineering and science. At Georgia Tech's Music Intelligence Lab, Chordia investigates if improvisation in music engages the brain differently. His research also aims to develop tools that use music to enhance learning, such as improving math skills. Chordia created the LaDiDa app, which helps users sound better when singing, promoting musical engagement. His findings suggest that musical experiences can boost proficiency in science and technology.
