There are many scientific reasons that music effects our brain, emotions, memory, and many more. Playing music is the brains equivalent to the full body workout. As per 2012 study shows that cyclists who listen to music required 7% less oxygen (O2) to do the same work as those who cycle in silence. As per study in 2008 shows that children who plays instruments for at least 3 years performed better than non-musicians in different tests. Manly in auditory discrimination abilities and fine motor skills, and also researchers tested on vocabulary and non-vocabulary reasoning skills, which involves understanding and analyzing visual information. And in the last few decades, neuro-scientists have done an experiment that how does our brain work when we listen to music, by monitoring them with instrument like fMRI and researchers found that some parts of the human brain lights up, but the interesting thing in this is that when researchers absorbed the brains of musicians there hole brain lights up.
Music has been an important part of every humans life which is coming from past to present and further also. Music plays an important part in brain development, learning, mood, and even your health. And even if you listen to music which you like, it increases blood flow to the brain more then listening to music you don't like. The study of scientist is said that the music is processed in the right hemisphere of the human brains, along with the art and creative activities. The resent researchers shows that music is distributed through out the human brain. Through studies of scientist with the brain damage patients who have lost there memory they couldn't read the newspaper but they could still play the music and can read the music notes. When we listen to music nearly each and every part of human brain effects. One of the most common affect is that music can alter our mood and feelings by stimulating the formation of certain chemicals present in the brain. Film directors use music backgrounds so that the audience can feel the scenes and watch the movie with more interest. There some scenes like fight scenes in a film, the background music truly makes the audience to enjoy the scenes and make the scene apt and the background music truly plays an important role for film. Even our brain will response differently to happy and to sad songs, here a study shows that after listening to a sad song brain likely to interpret a neutral expression as sad, and if we listen to the happy music the neutral expression will be happy. Here when we listen to music you like your brain releases a neurotransmitter called DOPAMINE. Dopamine is a chemical which will cause a feelings of satisfaction. So if you listen to your favorite music you will feel happy and one interesting fact is that when someone is feeling sad and if they listen to sad music they feel better then before. Now you could be thinking that why can't sad person listen to a happy music ? Because when you listen to happy music or songs you will feel regret by thinking more about your past, so when your happy listen to happy music and when your sad you better listen to sad music. An other interesting fact is that while doing any work if you listen to any work you will preform better. Also when researchers scans the human brain they found that musicians have different brains that non-musicians, people who play instruments have bigger, better connected, sensitive brains.
