Once again, we have new research on the brain and Neuroplasticity. A once impossible feat is now proving possible for everyone!
For years, we’ve been told that perfect pitch—the rare ability to identify musical notes without a reference—was something you were either born with or not. But groundbreaking new research from the University of Surrey is turning that belief on its head. Scientists found that adults—yes, full-grown, past-their-prime adults—can train their brains to develop near-perfect pitch. What does this mean for musicians, lifelong learners, and anyone who’s ever thought they "missed their chance" to develop a skill? It means your brain is far more adaptable than you think.
In this episode, Dr. Bray discusses the science behind perfect pitch, the power of neuroplasticity, and how this study proves that skills once thought impossible to learn in adulthood may be within reach. We’ll explore how training changed participants' brains, what this means for other learning abilities, and how you can tap into this potential in your own life. If you’ve ever doubted your ability to master something new, this episode is for you.
Listen now and discover just how much your brain is capable of!
QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "Your brain can still grow, still adapt, and still master complex skills no matter what your age." "The only time you stop learning is when you stop breathing."
