Does music make you move?

At TEDxWaterloo 2013 Jessica Grahn – a cognitive neuroscientist working at Western University, Canada – presented an engaging talk about why music moves us, and why picking up the beat might make us unique.




And another video just to ilustrate the point:



N.B. See below some of the studies mentioned in the talk.
