Playing musical instruments in the MRI - the brain on music

- How does learning to play a musical instrument change the brain? Can music be instrumental (pun intended!) in helping people recovering from strokes? These are just two questions being answered by researchers at McGill university and the Montreal Neurological Institute. Neurologist Robert Zatorre and his PhD Student Melanie Segado worked with Prof. Marcelo Wanderley, an engineer in the Schulich School of Music, and his student Avrum Hollinger in creating a cello that could be played in an MRI scanner to see how the brain changes as a result of playing a musical instrument.
I watched the entire thing just to see what the difference in brain scans look like and they didn’t show us
Thank you for saving my time!
Watch again.
Lit up brain vs _______ for normal, why? 🤔
@@retro_boy_advanceThe scans are right there.
Your visual comprehension is inaccurate.
You have zero idea what you are looking at.
Non-musician brains don't light up. Get it?
I suspect there are other things that activate this brain activity, but music is terrific by me.
This is so interesting, particularly how the neural mechanics can be substituted with others in stroke patients and if this aspect of brain function potentially carries over to other deficits in other areas.
That’s what I was thinking!
@Someone
McGill is in Montréal.
I think there are more videos on UA-cam about this subject. 😎
Fantastic work! Are there companies producing MR-compatible musical instruments for sale?
Love how she's playing mark summers, Julie-O
I’m glad I play piano now
I have no doubt that you did inspired work on this and also worked really hard, but at least here, you barely shared any of your findings.
I'm an awesome drummer. My brain is soo effin cool!
I've got Brain damage, after falling off a back of a lorry 1980s, and a lorry smatch, I listen to music on my head phones,
What about the brains of drummers? You know, the guys who hang around
musicians and beat on things after their shelter provider/girlfriend
drives them to the gig?
Its beter then chess
maybe PICK AN INSTRUMENT THAT FITS ?!?!?!!?! ALL THAT PHD AND NO BRAIN ?!
I'm learning ukulele and I'm fascinated about how with every new chord that I learn I almost can feel my neurons getting new connections. My hand movements and rythms in my mind become more organic.It's really amazing. That's why i looked up for info and ended up here.
haha
Just bring someone with a flute or clarinet
🤣🪦⚰️
I volunteer to play any instrument in there, plastic or wood flute, totally down. Popsickle stick piano?Down. Just hit me up!
nah, initially only violin and piano were considered instruments that could be played by highly skilled and trained people, but after 10 years trying to build that glass piano, they just moved to the cello, it was easier HR wise.
Strange why only those are considered highly skilled.. ?
44 years I have played the clarinet, flute and all the recorder’s and now learning the saxophone.. you never stop learning , however I got a scholarship to a tiny music school when I was 7 years old and I did all my grades , we were never told that only the piano and cello were considered instruments for the highly skilled.. gutted !!😂💚🎷🎼🎶🧠🧪😆
I play clarinet. Clarinet is what I was thinking bc it goes straight down the body and doesn’t take up any Space that it doesn’t need to.
I'm recovering from 20 years of management, I'm doing it with music. I am not joking. I became a decision maker with only enough time for superficial digestion of information. I lost my brain.
Congratulations, when there is a will there is a path :)
Been there....
I think everyone needs to recover from management positions after doing them for that long
I worked in manufacturing for 34 years. My brain is like play-doh. I'm learning bass guitar but it is an uphill struggle.
@@everready19373 climb that hill! if each step is up the reaching the top is irrelevant.
So unfortunately this post doesn't show the result of someone creating something new or what the brain looks like listening to music, not even what the brain looks like listening to their own music while playing it but only areas of motor function? I heard the brain is almost fully active like a light bulb by a professor of Cognition at a University where I live but I have yet to see it. I'd also love to see a comparison of psychedelics, and psychedelics with music since psychedelic are gaining massive steam research on improving cognition, neurogenesis, reversing brain related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Dementia, it would seem that if it does this, it should be against the law to forbid Adults from access.
Found it's best not to think introspectivly when playing other than the inner composing of musical rhythm , ie think in music, the sound of the rhythm or lead, or lead you're with over the rhythm, not at how you're playing or about anything else really.
When writing lyrics think with words to the rhythm being played, but when writing the music thinking anything other than a musical language is distracting.
Forcing yourself to play the song in your head while playing on your instrument keeps you focused and helps you compose better, and you make fewer mistakes.
I guess in other words; "Forget you learned a language and try to think only in music, as if notes and rhythm was your conversation. Inner compose in a musical language as an author would compose a character's conversion inwardly while writing it down."
Imagine your that person and then tge mri gose into annoying mode💀
Your outcomes are zero accurate. Taking into consideration the limits she had to take when playing the instrument in these circumstances with all the bad or new feelings she had, parts of the brain areas could be affected which show up in your measuring devices and which from what you draw your conclusions. Nevertheless, a very interesting experiment. Thank you
Could’ve saved 5 years just using a ukele 🥲
This was not satisfying. It sounded like an advert for their research funders or for their lab or something 🙄
I just want to know what each pitch looks like in the brain. And do memories of each pitch get destroyed when our ears start losing the capability to perceive certain pitches?
Maybe not the memory of the pitch itself but being able to process that pitch through our ears that allows us to hear it in said pitch. Idk interesting thought
I love playing my guitar and clarinet. I get an itch to play if it’s been a day or so. I like how it feels like I am knocking the rust off my brain when I play. It’s like an exercise for your brain!
any follow up on this study ?
isnt skills controlled by the cerebellum?, like drawing for example
I'm a cellist myself, I love this😍
hey, do you happen to know the piece she plays at 00:17?? its awesome!
Well that was a waste of time.
Are animal like cat or dogs are tone deaf?
They didn’t show !
Those pits though
Does this work even if you don't willingly play music?
No it does not
Yes, if you're getting better at it then your brain is making the connections (it might not give you the usual emotional regulation benefits though!)
oh mann...what's the name of the piece she plays at the very end
the prelude from bach's first cello suite, bwv 1007
Great job! Thanks for sharing !
What's the song she's playing at 0.18?
It's called Julie-O
Thank you! I was thinking of Be With You by Mr Big
What's up with these out of place comments from a year ago?
This was def a lunchbag let down. I expected something a little less "western" Calling someone an expert musician with no context. No thanks.
