Participants in the new study were first heard and then are played on Tibetan singing bowls. According to the results, playing a musical instrument can help people in their fight against the decline of cognitive function with age. The reason for this is that during the process of learning to play the instrument, altering the structure of brain connections, scientists have discovered.
Neuroscientists have found that the brain can compensate for disabilities obtained pattern in from disease or injury. Dr. Bernhard Ross, the lead author of the study, explains:
"It has long been known that music can have a healing and healthy effect on the brain, but he well understood idea about the exact mechanism by which music influences. This is the first study to demonstrate that learning the subtle movements needed to extract sound from an instrument changes brain structure responsible for sound and music in a way that has not been seen when only listened to music. "
The study has examined 32 young adults in good health who first listened to music derived from Tibetan buy and then themselves have played them. Brain scans have shown that playing singing bowl was enough to change brain activity. "The working hypothesis was that the act of playing an instrument requires a lot of brain systems to work together, such as hearing, motor function and sensory systems.
This is the first study and then we saw directly induced changes in the brain after just one session, demonstrating that the act of creating music leads to strong changes in brain activity. "
music is life :)
