Music Podcast Homework - Initial reaction and questions


Our brains seek to organize sounds Ina way that is familiar to us. When a new pattern is presented a chemical reaction occurs that can overwhelm and confuse us to a point of being crazy. However our brains can eventually make sense of new sounds or patterns of sound which can then become pleasing to us.

What does this tell us about learning? Does this tell us to be open to new things always? Is new better or worse or neither. How can we tell if something is bad?

I'm thinking about how we fear what we don't know.  Is this telling us to not fear the unknown?
