Summary/Abstract: The first International Symposium on Neuroscience with Music was held at the beginning of September 2019 in Berlin. The meeting was established by Academus GmbH, which organizes events within the scientific community as well as for civil society or government. This made the platform somewhat independent of academic institutions, thus the audience from the research fields of humanities and sciences was not the only one attracted by the symposium which interested at the same time delegates from various fields engaged in taking care of the soul and developing one’s creative potential. The symposium also declared an effort to bridge art and science – this is indicated by the “with” in the title of the conference – which resulted in several artistic performances framing the scientific programme and in some cases also meant the active engagement of all the participants. These common experiences surely helped the atmosphere of sharing ideas.
