That is the sound of silence.

And that is my stomach. It must be lunchtime. Anyway, that's not what I'm here to talk about.

Instead, I want you to pay attention because I'm about to play some music.

And all you got to do is tell me how this music makes you feel. Ready? Go.

So, what do you think? Did you find that music kind of creepy or scary? Did it make you feel like

there could be a monster nearby? Don't worry, that's just my stomach again.

Okay, I'm going to play another piece of music. And let me know how this music makes you feel.

Would you say that music sounded happy or playful? Maybe even put a smile on your face?

Yay! I bet you did. Listen, even my stomach liked it.

Okay, one more. How does this music make you feel?

Did you say this music made you feel sad or gloomy? Yeah, me too.

Listen, even my stomach is sad. But cheer up, I'm willing to bet you guessed them all.

But here's the thing, why does some music make you feel happy? Or sad?

Or scared? How can a bunch of musical notes have such an effect on your emotions?

I don't know. And not just you. Most people who hear this music feel the exact same way you did.

Well, it turns out there's a reason why music can make you feel and see all kinds of things

that exist only in your mind. It's time for another big whiff of science on.
