When music is used to treat the soul and the mind

Scientific and musical interactions 
Music represents a real crossroads between emotions and reason; is it an art? Or a science? The Laboratories straddle the boundary between two worlds, an open door into the factory of our emotions; and we are keen to hear your views, too. Musicians are joined on stage by scientists, to discuss, experiment and reflect for around 1h15, seeking to put a finger on those feelings which make each and every one of us unquestionably human.
