MUSIC ACTIVATES BRAIN FUNCTIONS

Image
  By Ruth Ferraz Music is not just sound. It is a direct stimulus to the brain, because the compass and rhythmic activated the left hemisphere which is the mathematics side and the melody works the right one which is responsable for the emotions and visualizations. Then, it helps to connect both sides, because they need to work together to follow the music. No wonders, that in the Old Testament in the Bible had a tribe, the Levites, which duty was to dedicate their lives to worship: playing instruments and singing, also they were taking care of the maintenence of the temple. For they it was giving the title, 10% of the harvest to provide food for them. When you listen to a song like a perfect classic one above — Passacaglia from Handel, it's not just emotion, it is motion. Your brain activates at the same time: – pleasure areas – memory  – and even motor areas.  That's why you not only feel… - you want to get up - want to sing - want to move.

MUSIC IN THE BRAIN

Image
  By  Nature Review Neuroscience Abstract Music is ubiquitous across human cultures — as a source of affective and pleasurable experience, moving us both physically and emotionally — and learning to play music shapes both brain structure and brain function. Music processing in the brain — namely, the perception of melody, harmony and rhythm — has traditionally been studied as an auditory phenomenon using passive listening paradigms.  However, when listening to music, we actively generate predictions about what is likely to happen next. This enactive aspect has led to a more comprehensive understanding of music processing involving brain structures implicated in action, emotion and learning. Here we review the cognitive neuroscience literature of music perception.  We show that music perception, action, emotion and learning all rest on the human brain’s fundamental capacity for prediction — as formulated by the predictive coding of music model. This Review elucidates ...

VIDEO IN YOU TUBE TO LAUNCH THE CANVAS: MY INSPIRATIONS I was inspirated to painted this canvas based in others artwork from another artist who painted Jesus hugging lambs, just one Jesus was hugging a girl also. For the background I was inspired by a dream I had with Jesus in which I was looking at the horizon line in the ocean from my apartment in Northeast of Brazil, then I saw Jesus coming from there, walking on the water to meet me!
