The Psychology of Music

THE PSYCHOLOGY MUSIC There's more to why we like music than just a catchy beat or an easy karaoke tune. Dozens of receptors in our brain respond to different musical aspects like tone, rhythm and lyrics, determining the qualities we personally like and dislike. Don't let music just go in one ear and out the other-learn how to interpret your brain's response to music, the benefits of listening to it and the importance of music education. HOW DOES MUSIC ENTER THE BRAIN? The movement of the fluid stimulates tiny nerve Three tiny bones in the middle ear amplify the sound waves before they enter the inner ear cells which convert The outer ear "catches" the sound waves and direct them into the ear canal where they meet the eardrum before passing into the middle ear Sound waves into electrical impulses. Inside the inner ear, sound waves enter the fluid-filled cochlea. Music originates as vibrations, which form sound waves as they propagate through the air The auditory nerve transmits the electrical impulses to the brain, where they will be interpreted as sound. PARTS OF THE BRAIN AFFECTED BY MUSIC Music involves more parts of the brain than any other function that people perform. FONALITY Prefrontal cortex LYRICS Cerebellum Temporal lobe Wernicke's area Broca's area (Depending Upon the Music) Visual cortex (imagining parts of the music) RHYTHM Motor cortex (tapping toes) Emotional responses Left frontal cortex Left parietal cortex Right cerebellum OTHER EFFECTS OF MUSIC ON THE BRAIN Over time, listening to music can improve: Music is known to help heal some neurological disorders: Au revoir LANGUAGE SKILLS. CREATIVITY HAPPINESS -ALZHEIMER'S PARKINSON'S TOURETTES healing powers of music: CAUTISM DECREASE ANXIETY SPEED HEALING- INCREASE OPTIMISM DECREASE PAIN SUPER MIND MUSIC Specific brainwave rhythms are associated with specific emotional and cognitive outcomes.
