How you hear
Sound enters ears and travels along your ear canal
It

sets off a wave of vibrations from your eardrum to the snail-shaped cochlea in your inner ear
These vibrations stimulate sensory hair cells in your cochlea
This generates a nerve impulse which travels along your cochlear nerve to your brain
The temporal lobe processes the sound

Слайд 3

Слайд 4

Brain Response to Music
Right hemisphere of the brain
Activated when you hear

melodies with a variety of pitch and timbre
It also “lights up” when people play music by ear.
Left hemisphere of the brain
“Lights Up” when you learn to read music, understand key signature and notation, and follow the sequence of notes.
Significantly, the brain is activated in the same area that is involved in analytical and mathematical thinking.
So you can simultaneously stimulate the right and left hemispheres of the brain by playing an instrument or by singing

Слайд 5

This is your brain

Слайд 6

Emotional Responses To Music
The Limbic System is so powerful that emotions

can change how you think:
Positive Emotions - love, humor
Facilitate higher order thinking skills
Negative Emotions - anger, fear
Can shift brain to basic survival thinking.
Music can aid in the production of serotonin, which can make you happy! Yaaay!

Слайд 7

Serotonin
A neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of nerve impulses that helps

maintaining joyous feelings
Released when the brain is “positively shocked” and reduces tension

Слайд 8

Classical Music
In humans
Enhances spatial IQ by increasing short and long term

memory
Increases cognitive skills in children
In animals and plants
Stimulates brain development
can result in major brain development
Melody and Rhythm aid brain organization and abilities

Слайд 9

Classical Music Humans
Music can affect the hormone system
Affects breathing rate and electrical

resistance of the skin
Pupils dilate, blood pressure and heart rate increase
Allows the brain to concentrate more easily and assimilate more information in less time
Music simultaneously stimulates the left and right hemispheres of the brain
Boosts learning and information intake therefore augmenting cognitive skills
Learning may be increased five-fold
Mozart effect
Complex music improves performance of spatial-temporal reasoning and short-term memory
Mozart’s concerto from the “baroque” period with 60 beats per minute affects the amplitude and frequency of brain waves
Children who have taken music lessons experience advantages in cognitive skills

Слайд 10

Classical Music Animals
The right balance of rhythm and melody help hens lay

more eggs, cats to relax, and cows to produce more milk
Lab rats showed a natural predisposition towards music
2 boxes connected by a tube
One box had Bach’s Air on the G string
The other box had rock music
Most rats chose to go to the box with Bach’s music (even when the music was switched from one side to another)
Rats were then placed in a maze, and those that followed the classical music exited the maze quicker and easier than those that chose the path of rock
The ones that were frequently exposed to classical music had a physically more developed brain than those not being exposed

Слайд 11

Classical Music- Plants
Plants have shown a more positive response to classical

music than rock
Plants exposed to classical music (~60 bpm) thrived
Plants exposed to rock music withered and died
Plants have no brains, so only the rhythm stimulated them (not the melody)

Слайд 12

Classical Music Melody & Rhythm
Melody is the essence that boosts creative reasoning
Rhythm

synchronizes these emotions with vital patterns
We all have a rhythm, and were exposed to rhythm in the uterus as well – through heartbeat, breathing, ect

Слайд 13

How do melody and rhythm work together?
Rhythm – body’s vital rhythms

become in sync and produce the proper mood for increased cognitive and creative capabilities
Melody – stimulates thoughts and resolutions to develop more paths of choice, increasing options and potential solutions
Melody and rhythm act in synergy with the brain to “open” the auditory and sensorial channels that conduct to the brain, thereby benefiting your cerebral skills

Слайд 14

Why is music so valuable?
Complex mathematical order
Ex. -patterns in rhythm

and pitch, character contrast, repetitions, and alterations of the theme
order causes the brain to release serotonin letting the body and mind function better when listening to these logical compositions
Poetry and literature rely on rational transport to inspire an emotion because they are mediated from words….
Music skips that step and crosses right to our emotions

Слайд 15

How can music affect me?
Listening to certain music can give a

different base to your thoughts, words, and actions
It can intensify enjoyment and alleviation, encourage crestfallen spirits, and assuage turbulent thoughts
It can stimulate brain growth
It can help you to memorize things (try singing the vocabulary for the final)

Слайд 16

Musical Miracles?
Aid for ADD and Autism?
Usually, an autistic child has much

trouble tying their shoes. However, with the aid of music, the child can achieve this goal faster! That’s because there is a rhythm to coordinate the action to
Music can cause brain waves to show the same affect as those on ADD medicines such as Ritalin or Adderall
Music with strong beats will cause the brain to resonate to the same rhythm
Slow beats help calm brainwaves (associated with hypnotic state)
Rhythmic therapy has improved cognitive function in elderly people by increasing blood flow

MUSIC COULD BE THE FUTURE OF THERAPY!
