Marconi Union

Overview

Marconi Union is the musical group behind “Weightless,” a track used in the episode as a source-scoped example of music studied for acute anxiety reduction.

Current Profile

The group’s role in the bounded evidence is narrow. Andrew Huberman names “Weightless” while discussing breathing, autonomic state, and acute anxiety. The page records that example without treating the artist, track, or one reported study as a validated treatment.
