Mind-Changing Music Some Mind Blowing Facts about Music and the Brain. Music is mind-changing. Literally. Itaffects your brain more than you realize. To prove my point, here are five amazing factsabout music and the brain. Prepare to get your mind blown.1.Music can get you highIf you want to get a release of dopamine and oxytocin in your brain, turn on a song youlove. According to The New York Times, the “reward” part of the brain lights up whenyou hear music. They say “the idea that reward is partly related to anticipation (or theprediction of a desired outcome)” is a fact in neuroscience.So when you listen to a song, your brain is trying to figure out what’s going to happennext without you realizing it. Then, whether or not your brain predicts correctly, itrewards itself with a shot of good-feeling chemicals. That’s why anticipation is a greattool to use in your song. It’s the thing that gets you high on music.2.Music can heal the brainThere’s a thing called music therapy where licensed professionals help people with braindamage, heart problems, or with many different physical issues through the power ofmusic. It’s especially useful for people who have trouble speaking or comprehendinglanguage, whether because of a stroke or some other brain injury. Therapists use a styleof singing with certain rhythms that can help bring back the cadence of speech.The right side of the brain processes music while the left side processes language, somusic therapy can help bridge the gap between the two. Music helps create newneurological pathways.According to Harvard Medical School, patients with speech problems are “capable ofsinging words that they cannot speak.” And that’s why using “melody and rhythm haslong been recommended for improving” speech and language comprehension in patients.3.Music improves your memoryHow did you learn the alphabet? Probably by learning the song.One reason for this is that the part of the brain that processes music is the same part ofthe brain that creates and stores memories. So when you hear a song you know, it’s oftenattached to a memory.That’s because of the dopamine release we get when we hear a song we like. So yourbrain makes a positive connection between a song and a memory. Then your brain caneasily recall memories or things you’ve learned.
4.Music can relieve your stressWe already know how music can help us be less stressed. Surely we’ve all experiencedthis regardless of your preferred genre.Listening to music helps reduce the release and production of cortisol, which is called“the stress hormone.” Less cortisol means better learning capability and memory, lowerblood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol, and a less likely chance of heart disease.So you should stop reading this post right now and go listen to some music you love.5. Advertisers use music to make you buy stuffYour brain belongs to Starbucks and Apple and McDonald’s. They use music to mouldour brains into product-buying machines . It is believed that “music tends to linger in thelistener’s mind...even when the mind is an unwilling host.”So, even if you don’t realize it, the music Apple used in their latest commercial couldsubconsciously be making you more likely to buy the productSo, yeah, companies sort of control your brain with music.
