Music Psychology: Why Does "Bohemian Rhapsody" Feel so Good?
This online course explored music, mind and the brain and how music and emotions work together to give us the thrill of listening to a great song. We looked at what it is about music that makes us feel things and how music makes us feel emotion because it plays with our expectations. Musicians play with these expectations when writing songs.
