Science is Everywhere-Full length Episode 1 The Science of Sound Part 2

In the first episode of Science is Everywhere we explore how we hear and what it means to us. Dr. Lara Dungan asks if there is such a thing as a good or a bad sound, and visits physicist Prof. Shane Bergin in his sound laboratory in Trinity College, Dublin, where he demonstrates the physics of sound - including the doppler effect. Neurologist, and brain expert, Dr. Richard Roche, explains how our memory is linked to music and why some songs can get stuck in our head while music therapist Eli Chourdaki describes how old songs can awaken the mind and personality of dementia patients. Tony Perrey, founder of Windmill Lane Recording Studios, describes how he sees colour for sounds and how it helps him in his music editing.

Science is Everywhere is an Athena Media production for Newstalk 106-108fm made with the support of the BAI.
