9 effects of classical music on our brain produces

In the classical music they have always given various benefits like reducing stress or cause a better plant growth (this is what we have to ask our biologist, Marina, to see if it is a myth or is completely real). But while we wait to see if it would be good to put them to our geraniums a good list of Spotify Mozart or Beethoven, here are some of the proven classical music in our brain benefits:

1. The music cause the same emotions that speech:

According to some studies, music has the ability to cause chills or make our heart "swell of joy," even in different cultures .. For example, Western music because emotions of excitement or joy. This may be because the music mimics the tonal characteristics of emotion in his voice, leveraging our communication skills and our cultural associations in the same way.

2. Music can help us recover after transplant:

For if, according to research published in The Journal of Surgery Cardiothoraic, listening to classical music or opera after a heart transplant can mean the difference between success and failure, and found that music reduces anxiety, pain and nausea, even they claim that could have an effect on the parasympathetic nervous system (part of the nervous system whose function is to control unconscious things in our body, such as digestion). According to the research, conducted with mice that received a heart transplant, classical music lengthened the lifespan of the transplant before it failed on other types of music, possibly improving the immune system according to investigators, but this is not fully clarified.

3. Classical music can reduce pain and anxiety:

Relating to the previous example, an investigation by the Duke Cancer Institute found that using headphones with noise cancellation and where classical music was heard (in this case listened to Bach), reduced pain and anxiety during a biopsy prostate. Normally blood pressure increased stress and anxiety occurs, but put the music such an increase was not given. In addition, those using headphones reported they felt less pain.

4. Listen to classical music could improve performance:

According to a recent study by the Health Science Center, University of Texas doctors who listened to Mozart while performing colonoscopy increased their research suggests that this improved performance could also occur in most professions and detection rates of precancerous polyps above references, and above doctors not listening to music. Even when doctors knew the purpose of the study, their detection rates jumped from 27.1% to 36.7%, which is not bad. Other situations.

5. Classical music can lower blood pressure:

If you already know which reduces pain and anxiety tell us that music also reduces blood pressure should not be surprised because it also reduces stress and this, in turn, affect blood pressure, according to the comparisons made in a study by the University of San Diego between classical music and jazz, pop or otherwise. As you will imagine, those who listened to classical music had lower blood pressure levels.

6. Listen to classical music could insomnia:

As I told you, first quit (or not start), because the snuff affects the quality of sleep. And if still you have trouble falling asleep, an investigation of the University of Toronto says that listening to classical music before bed may help, as would cause us to sleep us faster and further from sleeping longer (why using drugs having music? up cheaper hear).

This is due to the rhythms and tonal patterns of this kind of music, creating a meditative mood and a slow brain waves.

7. The "Mozart Effect" temporarily improved spatial-temporal reasoning and short-term memory:

Yes, Mozart also has an effect, in addition to great music. This effect is, according to a meta-analysis of all research on the subject until 1999, when listening to Mozart would cause excitement, which would cause a temporary improvement in spatial reasoning and short-term memory (but nothing to improve our IQ, no one delude). In another 2003 study, this improvement lasted only 15 minutes.

8. Classical music can promote brain development in children:

A few weeks ago I spoke of the benefits that had touched an instrument since childhood, it is that this type of music helps to better brain development, but does not make anyone a genius. But, according to a study by Dr. Gordon Shaw of the University of California-Irvine, children who listened to Mozart and then studied piano had better scores in math than others. And, according to other studies, music listening and practice could help children develop spatial and verbal skills and encourage self-control.

9. Classical music can help you learn new languages:

This will come me well even to me, I'm planteándome improve my English and even French (German, despite the encouragement they have given me, remain unconvinced).

According to research by the University of Illinois in 2005, evidence that listening to classical music improved language learning because it could encourage the learning of grammar, vocabulary, improve pronunciation and to help us appreciate more the culture they were found. Subsequently, other studies have supported these findings. And, most amazing about this, it is the method used by Dr. George Lazanov, foreign language teacher, using Baroque music to help their students learn 1000 vocabulary of foreign languages in a single day with an accuracy 85 to 100% (if this is true, we must try ...).
