Why are concerts so immersive? Is it possible to measure how emotionally immersed you are at a concert and why? Can artists, venue owners and event promoters use immersion neuroscience to make the concert experience more memorable, predict concert sales, plan tours and create a more loyal fan base? Can we, as concert fans, use the data and insights from Immersion Neuroscience to decide which artist you should see next?
