Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
   A recent study suggests that preterm(早產(chǎn)的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts led by Dr Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta,Canada,found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
   Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help recover from brain injuries.As a different and effective treatment,doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions.When people with neurological(神經(jīng)的) disorders hear a musical beat,it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
   Though music cannot make deafness disappear,it really can stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician,even in a noisy environment.
   Besides,music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love,but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure,slowing down the heartbeat rate,and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions,improves the movement of blood,and expands blood vessels,thus,promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular(心血管的) system.
