Music And Music

Music can help the human brain in many ways. It’s like what Prof. Sarah Wilson from the video “Music Of The Brain” said about the effects of what humming and singing from a mother can do to her offspring. The humming and singing a mother does can develop a very important and special bond and connection between the child and mother. About 40% of babies who were born pre-maturely can develop reading and writing disabilities because those months that they missed could be the amount of months that their mother would be singing or speaking to their babies. Most of what premature babies hear is beeping from the monitors since they are kept in a special care room at the hospital. Also, music can help speak impaired people. For example Dr. Peter Hand’s

No one knows all the ways music can benefit the body but, it is known that music can affect brain waves, brain circulation, and stress hormones. Students who take music lessons have improved IQ levels and show improvement in nonmusical abilities as well. Listening to music composed by Mozart produces a short-term improvement in tasks that use spatial abilities. Studies of brain circulation have shown that people listening to Mozart have more activity in certain areas of the brain, which is called the Mozart effect. Although the reasons for this are not clear, this kind of information supports the idea that music can be used in many helpful ways. In general, music therapy done under the care of a professionally-trained therapist has a helpful effect, and is considered safe when used with standard treatment.

Playing an instrument also builds the brain’s corpus callosum, which is the bridge between the right and left sides of the brain, which helps people to solve problems in different, more efficient ways.

So to what extent does music impact the cognitive processes of the human brain? First of all, cognitive processes are processes that involve knowledge and how people use their knowledge. They include matters such as attention, memory, producing and understanding language, solving problems, and making decisions. All of these are very important for human behavior. Music, in particular, has been used to assist in cognition for many years; recent advances in medical technology have provided evidence confirming the effects of music on the brain’s affective, cognitive, and motor components (Jones, 2010). All things considered, it is apparent that music has a very strong and lasting effect on the cognitive processes of the human brain.
