Do you have a soundtrack for your life?
If so, you're not alone.
May athletes use am iPod as part of their warm-up routine, for example.
But did you know that there's brain-based research showing how different soundtracks can affect your brain's function?
Dr. Galina Mindlin, assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, can show you how.
As reported in the Boston Globe online on September 28, 2011, Mindlin, who also runs the Brain Music Therapy Center, has shown the influence of music on the brain. The beats per minute have a definite effect. The association of memories and emotion with certain songs also have an impact. The actual impact varies with the individual, however.
While "Baby Mozart" music is not going to shape an infant into a genius, studying to Mozart can increase calm and focus.
The article gives suggestions for beats per minute for certain types of situational goals.
One question: is music's impact on the brain or the heart...?
