The Ultimate Happy Drug: Your Brain on Music


Source: ord1.audiologyonline.com
Briefly explain why you are interested in studying your topic:  
It's always been a dream on mine to combine my two passions--biology and music. I've always been fascinated on the effects music has on the brain and how it affects you physically as well as emotionally.

The overall question I plan on answering by the end of the project:
How/why do different genres of music make people happy? 

Sub questions I will need to answer in order to answer the overall question:
  • How does the brain respond to musical stimuli? Why?
  • How does music affect your emotions?
  • How do people develop preferences for different genres of music?

My plan of research (what specific Library Databases, specific websites, names of authors, people, etc. will I pursue to find the answers to the questions above):
