#Didyoukmow Music is known to activate
our entire brain ?
Let’s Deep Dive ----
🧠How does music enter the brain?
+ Music originates as a form of vibrations, which found sound waves as they spread across the air.
+ The outer ear "catches" the sound that is being emitted and directs them into the ear, where they meet the eardrum before passing into the middle ear.
+ Three tiny bones in the middle ear amplify the sound, making the sound waves greater before they enter the inner ear
+ Inside the inner ear, sound waves enter the fluid-filled cochlea, which consequently vibrates.
+ The movement of fluid stimulates tiny nerve cells, which convert the vibrations into electrical signals
+ The auditory nerve transmits these impulses to the brain, where they are intercepted as sound.
🧠Parts of the brain that are affected by music:
+Certain specific areas of the brain are affected by different qualities of music, and process different sound waves uniquely.
+ Tonality: The prefrontal cortex, temporal lobe, and cerebellum
+ Rhythm: Left frontal cortex, left parietal cortex, and the right cerebellum
+ Lyrics: Wernicke's area, Broca's area, visual cortex, and the motor cortex
🧠Brainwaves and Emotions:
+ Specific brainwaves are correlated to unique movements and emotions - matching music with brainwaves may be able to induce a certain state of mind in any person. Playing music at a certain frequency can result in different emotions and/or actions for the listener through the engagement of certain brainwaves.
🧠Gamma Waves:
+ Provide the brain's optimal frequency and function
+ Associated with increased compassion and a heightened sense of reality
+ Serves as a binding mechanism for all parts of the brain and increases mental abilities
🧠Beta Waves:
+ Low beta waves increase concentration and alertness
+ High beta waves result in increased stress, agitation, and anxiety
🧠Alpha Waves:
+ Occur during relaxation and daydreams
Provide an effortless state of consciousness (very relaxing).
Our advice:
1. Listen To music.
2. Find your vibe.
3. Ride your wave. 🌊
