The Beginnings of Neuroscience, Music and the Mind
“Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul…”
Plato (circa 400 BC)
Music engages many brain functions…
Emotion
Memory
Learning & Plasticity (the ability of the brain to change, grow and develop over time)
Attention
Motor Control
Pattern perception
Imagery
And more…
Check out this groundbreaking presentation by Aniruddh Patel, Ph.D., of the Neurosciences Institute on how music shares some common neural ground with language.
What’s more, music may even enable us to construct the bridge to connect
1) the mind (our subjective experience of the world around us, our thoughts, feelings and perceptions, that which emerges from the brain) and
2) the brain (the physical organ made up of neurons and synapses inside the skull).
