Thread Name: Neurobiology and music
Subject: Neurobiology and music
My wife occasionally will ask me, "Why would anyone want to know that???!!!!" But, here's the question, why does music effect us like
it does. This is a neuro-biological question. Specific musical structures (chord sequences, rythhm, etc.) evoke neuro-biological responses. Have there been studies done, preferably by brain scans, to see where and how the brain is affected by music. This would be very interesting when applied yp other brain disorders like affective disorders, schizophrenia, etc. Help educate a Tennessean.

Thanks!!
