How did Beethoven, despite his deafness, manage to compose some of the most admired works in the history of music? Why do certain melodies touch us deeply? Join Dominique Forget, science journalist at Radio Canada, Robert Zatorre, neuroscientist at the Neuro (Montr茅al Neurological Institute-Hospital), and musicians from the OSM, as we explore the fascinating mechanisms of musical imagery and how emotions are evoked and intensified by music.
