Music helps us exercise, but why does it have this effect (效果). Experts say there are two main reasons. The first is simple: Music distracts (使分心) us. When we listen to a song we like, our brains pay attention to the music. For example, after we exercise for 20 minutes, our...
So, if you have a mind like a sieve, it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it, especially as beyond our 50s our brains tend to shrink in volume and our ...
Despite no obvious biological benefits, humans love music. Neuroimaging studies highlight similarities between how the brain’s reward circuits process music and other rewards like food, money, and alcohol. Yet neuroimaging studies are correlational by nature. In a new study, Mas-Herrero et al. so...
Technology and story interaction Zak is uncertain whether technology can change how our brains respond to stories. “What we find is the activations in the brain—they're almost identical. So I think from the brain's perspective, any social interaction appears to be valuable. And from a brain...
“There is something distinctive about song all around the world as an acoustic signal that perhaps our brains have become attuned to over evolutionary time,”Aniruddh Patel, a psychologist at Tufts University who was not involved in the study, says to theNe...
In a new episode of the MaRS podcast Solve for X, we explore how music affects our brain and the role technology could play in unlocking its healing power.
