This version includes black and white images, and QR codes to redirect readers to relevant musical material on the web. How much of the waves in electromagnetic spectrum, which are similar to a universal symphony from the author's point of view, are we aware of? How does our brain and body interact with the sea of waves in the universe? How does neuroscience look through the lens of a woman scientist? While 'Universal Symphony' explores up-to-date and evidence-based scientific answers to these questions, it also aims to provoke feelings and raise awareness of the mind and body. With this objective in mind, the practices and knowledge used by the medical profession are distilled through the funnel of the author's knowledge, experience, mind and emotions that she acquired over many years as a medical doctor and an academic working in the field of body imaging and diagnostics. Every chapter contains a story aimed at drawing attention to fundamental information, which is called science in a nutshell, to inspire and motivate readers to take an interest in their own health. Artistic methods, poetry and stories are used to relate to the topics, which make the topics enjoyable and relevant to the non-expert reader. Our brain and body are vibrating instruments of the 'Universal Symphony'. However, to be able to play a harmonious tune in the orchestra we have to be aware of the properties of this instrument and how the symphony is played.
