    Thanks for posting; viewing in 2024. As a neurologist living with Arnold Chiari. and dislocated spina bifida occulta, recognizing the difference of velocity between words and sound waves is another frontier of neuroscience.

    I came up with similar conclusions in 2005, but I'm no neuroscientist, just a musician.
    In my formula, I posited that the degree of enjoyment of a piece of music is directly proportional to the *?!* factor and inversely proportional to the *"age/I've already heard"* factor.
    The ?! notation is chronological: first, the *? (question mark)* - that strange sensation when you listen to a piece of music for the first time. _Objective_ and not "good" or "bad" per se - just a sensation of strangeness: the landmark of a diverse piece of music, which has the power to evolve into good or bad feelings.
    Then, the *! (exclamation mark)* part, _subjective_ - here one could experience somatic sensations like thrills down the spine, cold sweat, even a lump in the throat. Here is where your emotions let you determine whether you like a piece of music, or not.
    I think this parallels the findings presented here, with the interaction between the two systems, the first which allows to analyze sound patterns and make predictions, and the second which evaluates the outcomes of these predictions and generates positive (or negative) emotions depending on expectations.
    As I said, I can also add to these findings since I don't see the effect of the "I've already heard" factor here. It is my experience that when you're familiar with a piece of music there's no longer a place for predictions. That's why I wrote from the start that the ?! factor is inversely proportional to the amount of music that someone has already experienced.
    This is just a very synthetic recount of the full theory which was posted on a music forum many years ago and spans multiple pages. I got a lot of vitriol for presenting my "theory" back then, probably because it was too long-winded and not suited to the medium it was created for. I am glad that this is being partly validated by a neuroscientist now. Better late than never, I guess.

    In Schoenberg’s discovery of Atonal 12, there was more than just a preferential shift in the appeal of music, there was a tectonic shift in the understanding of what music does to the brain.
    The Stanford Research Institute in conjunction with Tavistock UK explored what these presentations of musical structure do to the brain. Look into it.

    What are the neurological benefits of MAKING music (instrumental or choral), either solo or together, in connecting the parts of the brain, deriving pleasure, neurological development, etc.? How are the benefits of passive listening to music and making instrumental or choral music different? I would bet that MAKING music offers more benefits than just listening to it...

    The commentary on the relationship between the auditory and motor centres in the brain betray a eurocentric bias. For the lecturer, the phenomenon that requires explanation is the incredible capacity of humans to produce physical movements that create music; for many other people around the world, the beauty of music is its capacity to cause physical movement in the listener.

    • @robertzatorre797
      @robertzatorre797 5 років тому +13

      There is no contradiction. People across cultures (Western or not) enjoy moving to music. But in order to move to music, of any culture, someone has to produce it by singing or playing an instrument. There is nothing "eurocentric" about it.

    • @theigneous
      @theigneous 5 років тому +11

      @@robertzatorre797I agree that there is no contradiction; to study the neuroscience of music production is not to say it is superior to dance. However, for many people in the world and for (i would guess) most of human history, production of rhythm required less dexterity and intricate control of tools. The choice to study classical musicianship in order to understand the neuroscience of audio-motor entrainment instead of studying the brain during dance (I belive) reflect the author's cultural background rather than it being selected as the logical place to start.

      2 sides of the same coin.
      Dancing is synchronizing your body to the sounds generated by the movements of the musician, the musician is synchronizing their movements to their mental image of what they want to play, and perhaps even to the movements they want to drive in their audience, coming full circle.
      Some musicians get crowd participation in the form of singing, another case of the crowd synchronizing movements (of their vocal systems) to the movements of the performer.
      Even to untrained dancers who might find most musical cues too complex to follow, the act of clapping in sync to the beat gives pleasure, (no matter how poorly they do it, lmao).

    loop between auditory and motor area
    zum Musik machen muss man super akkurat sein: Ramon y Cajal: brain might be physical changed by training (da mehr rein gehen, leute wissen das nicht) --> NEUROPLASTTIZITÄT (besser in jüngeren jähren)
    Musiker haben dickere bahnen ein auditorischem, motorischen und höhere exekutive Funktionen, aber in zsmhang mit wann angefangen wurde mit musikalischem Training
    Pleasure from music:
    Striatum: aktiviert bei essen, Dopamin,
    bei essen Bildern, monetary, food, erotic rewards --> ähnliche Aktivierung
    blood flow, dopamine uptake und bildgebende Verfahren steigt bei Musik die wir mögen
    je mehr wir ein lied mögen, desto stärker sind Verbindungen zu motor kortex : emotion & reward system und kognitive system !
    power of music: diese beiden stark entwickelte Bereiche verbinden
