The chills you get when listening to music are caused by the release of dopamine in your body.
Scientists recruited people who reliably get shivers when listening to an affective score. The chills are a consistent, in the moment measure of pleasure than asking how test subjects felt. Scientists used brain-imaging techniques that revealed that the music caused dopamine peaks coupled with emotional arousal.
The release of dopamine during music explains why such a high value is put on it and why music can manipulate our emotions. The effect that music has on us is quite comparable to other pleasures. Some examples are the joy of eating food and other tangible rewards.
Music can quite literally move us or the chemicals in our brains. The fact that music can really give us a rush like sex does is incredible. Well, the sensation is released from the same part of the brain at least.
Your heartbeat changes with the music you listen to!
Music can be so powerful it can affect your mood, brainwaves, and even your heartbeat! It turns out that when we listen to music our body reacts to the sounds we hear.
If a person listens to rock or techno, their heartbeat will involuntarily speed up. The opposite is true if someone listens to more calming or instrumental music.
Music is so influential it can alter your heartbeat, pulse rate, blood pressure, decrease your muscle tension, and even affect your body movement and coordination!
People couldn't tell the difference between music played through $100 cables or hangers .
Overpriced cables are nothing new. However, a lot of people are misinformed about the actual benefits of paying $100 for a cable.
An experiment was setup with 5 people blindfoldedly listening to music that was either run through a Monster cable or a Belden cable. In the middle of the experiment, the people running the tests switched the belden cable for a coat hanger wire!
No one of the blindfolded people realized the switch was made. The one caveat that they had was that this was only over 2 meters. Anything longer might benefit from better insulation.
Doctors have prescribed music to treat Parkinson's disease and strokes.
It's actually helpful for patients with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stroke victims, and people with anxiety and depression. Music can help overcome bradykinesia (difficulty initiating movement, often linked to Parkinson's) by triggering neurons that translate the music into organized movement. Music therapy has also proven to be effective in restoring the loss of language in patients with aphasia (impaired speech) that results from brain injury after sustaining a stroke.
Playing music also has its own health benefits. Patients with Parkinson's disease report that spending time playing the drums helps them have more control over their bodily movements and reduces tremors. The one downside to music therapy is that the benefits wear off 2 months after the therapy is discontinued. This means it's only effective if it's used continuously.
