Music has been an important part of every human culture, both past and present. It can
00:00:14
play a part in brain development, learning, mood, and even your health. There used to be
00:00:20
a popular belief that music is processed in the right hemisphere of our brains, along
00:00:25
with art and other creative activities.
00:00:28
However recent findings show us that music is distributed throughout the brain.
00:00:34
Through studies of people with brain damage, we've seen patients who have lost the ability
00:00:38
to read a newspaper, but can still read music.
00:00:42
Or individuals who can play the piano, but lack motor coordination to button their own sweater.
00:00:49
Today we know that music listening and performance, engage nearly every area of the brain that
00:00:54
we have so far identified. One of the most common affects music has, is that it can alter
00:00:59
our mood and feelings, by stimulating the formation of certain brain chemicals. Film
00:01:05
directors use music to tell us how to feel about scenes that otherwise might be unclear,
00:01:11
or to elevate our feelings at particularly dramatic moments.
00:01:15
Think of a typical fight scene in an action film, it's the music that truly makes the
00:01:19
scene epic. Also our brains respond differently to happy and sad melodies.One study showed
00:01:27
that after hearing a short piece of sad music, participants were more likely to interpret
00:01:31
a neutral expression as sad.
00:01:34
And if the melody was happy, the neutral expression was perceived as a happy one. Now when you
00:01:41
listen to music you actually like, your brain releases a neurotransmitter called dopamine.
00:01:47
Dopamine is a chemical which causes a feeling of satisfaction.
00:01:51
When listening to your favorite part of the song you get the same sort of pleasure that
00:01:55
you experience when eating food, doing drugs or having sex.
00:02:00
So basically music can makes us feel good. And if you're having a particularly good day,
00:02:05
listening to some of your favorite upbeat music can actually amplify that feeling of
00:02:09
happiness. One interesting thing is that when someone is sad, they often reach for sad music
00:02:16
and they find that it helps them feel better. Now you might be thinking why would they do that?
00:02:22
Why wouldn't a sad person listen to happy music?
00:02:26
The reason is that when you're sad or depressed you usually feel misunderstood.
00:02:30
Like the people around you don't understand you.
00:02:33
If you would listen to happy music in this state, it would only contribute to this feeling
00:02:38
of detachment.
00:02:39
However if you put on the right piece of sad music you say to yourself: "Oh, that's how
00:02:44
I feel.
00:02:45
This musician understands me." So the sad music turns out to be soothing, unlike the happy
00:02:50
music when you're feeling down.
00:02:54
Another interesting aspect is how listening to music can affect our exercise regime. As
00:02:59
our body realizes we’re tired and wants to stop exercising, it sends signals to the
00:03:04
brain to stop for a break.
00:03:07
Listening to music competes for our brain’s attention, and can help us override those
00:03:11
signals of fatigue. A 2012 study, showed that cyclists who listened to music required 7%
00:03:19
less oxygen to do the same work as those who cycled in silence.So not only can we push
00:03:24
through the pain to exercise longer and harder, when we listen to music, but it can actually
00:03:29
help us to use our energy more efficiently.
00:03:33
In the last few decades, neuroscientists have made enormous breakthroughs in understanding
00:03:38
how our brains work, by monitoring them with instruments like fMRI.
00:03:43
So when researchers got the participants to listen to music, they saw multiple regions
00:03:48
light up.
00:03:50
But what's more interesting is that when they observed brains of musicians, while playing
00:03:54
an instrument, the whole brain lit up like sky with fireworks.
00:04:00
So while listening to music engages some interesting brain regions, playing music is the brain's
00:04:05
equivalent of a full body workout. Also through brain scans we have found that musicians have
00:04:12
different brains than non-musicians. People who play an instrument have bigger, better
00:04:17
connected, more sensitive brains. A study from 2008 showed that children who had at least
00:04:24
three years of instrumental music training, performed better than their non musical counterparts
00:04:29
on a variety of tests.
00:04:31
Mainly in auditory discrimination abilities and fine motor skills.But they also tested
00:04:37
better on vocabulary and nonverbal reasoning skills, which involve understanding and analyzing
00:04:43
visual information, such as identifying relationships, similarities and differences between shapes
00:04:49
and patterns.These two areas in particular are quite removed from musical training as
00:04:55
we imagine it, so it’s fascinating to see how learning to play an instrument can help
00:05:00
kids develop such a wide variety of important skills. It’s also never too late to start
00:05:06
learning an instrument. Seniors who play an instrument or sing with other people are more
00:05:12
resistant to cognitive and memory problems. The reason might be the creation of alternative
00:05:18
connections in the brain that could compensate for cognitive decline as we get older. So both
00:05:23
listening and creating music has it's own benefits. However music affects each brain
00:05:29
differently and someones music can be another persons noise. And researchers have found that
00:05:35
listening to music you like, increases blood flow to the brain more than listening to music
00:05:40
you don’t like. To draw a line, you’ll always get more benefits from listening and
00:05:45
making music, you actually like. Thank you for watching.
00:05:52
I hope you learned something new and became better than yesterday :)
