The Synapz Series
Synapz explores the fascinating intersections between science, psychology, art, and human behavior.
Each episode begins with a simple question - why do we think, feel, or act the way we do? - and unpacks it through research, real-life stories, and a touch of humor because I believe learning should always be fun!
From neuroscience and cognitive psychology to creativity, culture, and everyday behavior, Synapz connects the dots between how the mind works and how we experience the world. If you’re curious, thoughtful, and love learning in a fun, meaningful way, this podcast is for you.

Genes and Genre
Why do our genes and the music we love seem to dance together in such fascinating ways? 🎶🧬
In this episode of Synapz, we explore the beautiful symphony between biology and culture — how our genetic makeup can shape musical preferences, and how music, in turn, can influence gene expression and emotional states.
You’ll discover:
- 🧠 How genetics may play a role in rhythm perception, tone sensitivity, and musical tastes
- 🎼 The ways cultural exposure and personal experience “tune” our brain over time
- 🔄 How music can literally influence biological processes like stress regulation and neuroplasticity
Join us as we blend neuroscience, psychology, and art to understand why that one song gives you chills — and what your playlist might reveal about you.
