The Neuroscience of Music One could approach any stranger on the street and ask for his favorite song; they would have it in seconds. Everyone knows the tingling sensation that runs down your spine when your favorite part of a song comes on. Yet I seriously doubt that anyone can explain how he recognizes these things so sincerely, or why his mind is so responsive to the phenomenon of music. The field of neuroscience as it relates to music has only just begun to be explored and is growing rapidly. Music has no biological basis in our evolution (Petr, “Jazzing Up Neuroscience”), and until recently it had been given little consideration. The truth is, though, that music, as we see it, has a much more profound effect on our innermost thoughts than most of us realize. Dancing and moving to the beat of the music, the sensations during the melodic verses, even our ability to remember lyrics and melodies with incredible precision... it all ties back to the biochemistry of our brain. Modern science proves that music can reach our mind through to memory, emotions and, of course, auditory and motor functions, although most people would be surprised by how compelling and comprehensive the effects on these aspects of life can be. our brain.Part The reason why radio jingles and the background music of commercials make modern advertising so effective is the strong link between music and memory. People's ability to remember lyrics in an instant, to hum songs heard in a shop window while walking down the street, and even to perform music the way we do, has its roots in the music that is firmly rooted in our memories. 8 years ago there was an article in the New York Times that looked into this relationship a bit, including a r...... middle of paper ......ing..."). It is known that music increases the speed of execution of many perceptual and cognitive tasks (Reck, Ovary, “Preface...”), but only recently has it been observed that it literally transforms our brain, in terms of what we use it for listen to it and process it. . What music training and music therapy do is use music to tone auditory abilities through listening exercises and in many cases be used to help with psychological problems such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia and auditory processing disorders central (Kraus et. al.). Through this process, however, the fundamental structure of the brain often changes or adapts to the circumstances of exercise of the auditory components in our brain. These abilities are radical and rare, but they are scientifically proven. Music has the ability to influence our motor skills, coordinated movements and even radically alter our hearing functions.
