The Science of Singing Along
The science behind the connections we form by singing together, and how it benefits us
When was the last time you sang with another person? This week, we鈥檙e digging into the science of singing 鈥� and more specifically, the science of singing with others, with author Casper ter Kuile. Casper started hosting signing groups in his home as a way to feel connected to others and build a community after moving to a new city. He found that singing is a powerful mode of communication that鈥檚 entirely different from talking, by letting people have fun together before even learning what the other does for work. We also hear from psychologist Arla Good, about how group singing can act as a tool for social bonding through a mood-boosting oxytocin response.
