How do you go from an Artist to Neuroscientist?

This week Summan sits down with Mikey Jose - a neuroscience PhD candidate-by-day, independent artist-by-night.

Mikey thrives in the in-between, putting him in a unique position to build bridges that connect brain and heart. He’s been featured on CBC Radio, TEDx, international scientific conferences, and at his home institution, The University of British Columbia, as a Sessional Lecturer in Psychology.

Mikey gets real about:

– Music as a healing tool for 100’s of years
– Music in Bridgerton & Queen Charlotte
– What is the nervous system
– How to regulate your body
– Music & your brain
– Challenging your beliefs
– The subconscious mind
– Upgrading your belief systems
– Tenacity as an artist

& SO much more.

PS.. You can catch Mikey on our newest series “Feelings of Music” on CBC’s creator network
