Music & Brain: Does Listening to Music Have an Impact on Our Brains?

If you are a fan of music, you will undoubtedly have noticed that these pieces have a great impact on improving your psychology or motivating you to do activities. Is this a fact or just a baseless psychological feeling? Studies have shown that music has a significant impact on brain function and human behavior, including reducing stress, pain and symptoms of depression as well as improving cognitive and motor skills. How does this happen?

A group of computer technology specialists, neuroscientists, and psychologists from the University of Southern California conducted a study on how music affects people's brains, bodies, and emotions, involving 40 participants listening to 3 pieces of music ranging in length between 168-515 seconds that varied between sad and happy while the participants' brains were undergoing an MRI.

The results of this study showed that music significantly affected the parts of the brain responsible for processing information that arrives through the sense of hearing. The researchers also noted that the greater the number of musical instruments included in the piece, the greater their emotional reaction. It is expected that these findings will assist in the selection of musical compositions used to treat various psychological conditions.

The power of music lies in its ability to stimulate certain areas of the brain, including the parts responsible for planning and decision-making as well as the parts responsible for feeling fear, thus improving mental functions and controlling your feelings of fear.
