In this episode of Beat Wala, we speak with leading neuroscientist Dr. Julia Basso as part of AlphaTheta’s documentary: We Become One.

Julia shares her research into how the brain processes music, how rhythm and sound influence emotion, and what happens neurologically when people experience music together and dance.

We explore how music affects memory, mental health, and why shared musical moments feel so powerful—both individually and collectively.

This conversation brings a scientific lens to the emotional experience of music and opens up new ways of understanding connection through sound.
