What fun! When I was researching my book and really getting into the biology of how walking uses our brains as well as our bodies, music was something I began to notice more. Like I was at a gym once and realized I couldn’t run because someone else’s music was too loud and it messed up my gait. Music really shows us, subtly, how much of the brain is involved in walking.

Thank you! That's so interesting about the biology side of walking and our brains. I used to have a gym mix (back when I used to go the gym) and preferred listening to that when I was on the treadmill, too. There's obviously some science behind the reason why!
Oh, cool! Though I should say I think that particular detail I left out. I can't remember. 😂 But people have been working on mobile phone technology that unlocks your phone through your gait, since it's more individual than fingerprints. (This is also an issue for privacy and surveillance--people can be identified on video through their walk, even if their faces are covered.)

There is! Linked to why our gait is more individually distinctive than fingerprints probably, too.
This gets more interesting by the second! I've ordered your book and I'm looking forward to learning more about all of this. Thanks!

You’re giving me so much to think about. Thank you 🙏
