Sackeim et al., (1982) concluded an asymmetry of activity in the frontal lobe due to positive and negative emotions. In EEG, this is reflected as an asymmetric decrease of left frontal alpha power during positive emotion and decrease of right frontal power during negative emotion (Davidson et al., 1990; Tsang et al., 2001; Schmidt & Trainor, 2001; Sammler et al., 2007). The results supported the findings of Sammler et al. (2007) and Schmidt and Trainer (2001) and Tsang et al. (2001). Specifically, listening to liked music and pleasant music violin produced an asymmetric decrease in alpha component energy at F3 relative to F4 and F7 comparative to F8. In addition, the alpha frequency power at F4 and F8 were significantly higher only while listening to the selected music when compared with rest and

    In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, citizens live without individuality, intelligence, and emotions, all of which can be connected to the absence of playable music. In the real world, everyone is affected by music that they listen to or create themselves, but it is truly underestimated. People have the distinguished ability to express their individuality through the varying types of music in the world and how they react to it. Being a musician can challenge someone’s mental and physical abilities and, if they accept the challenge, can make them more intelligent and capable members of society. Music can also cater to one’s differing emotions and help them to understand their feelings and coping methods.…

    Lonsdale and North describe that music has the power to “alleviate negative feelings” (Lonsdale & North 111). Because music can change a person’s mood, people are drawn to listening to music. Similarly, Dave Miranda, professor at the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, describes that people can find comfort in music, and can use music to help them vent their negative feelings (Miranda 13). Listening to music has the power to completely change a person’s emotions and improve their mental state. High levels of stress and negative feelings are an inevitable aspect of everyday life.…

    Music is a complex idea that can have different outcomes and experiences. We are surrounded by music every day and goes back to ancient times starting in 700 B.C. But the two major periods of music studied in psychology are classical and baroque style music. Although “classical” is now a common term to describe instrumental music, it is actually a time period for music: mid-1700s to the mid-1800s.

    When listening to music, the autonomic nervous system and respiratory system are affected. As we receive auditory information about the music, there is a tendency to match our breathing with the tempo of the song, which involves a mechanism between the autonomic nervous system and the respiratory system, called sympatho-respiratory coupling (Watanabe et al. 2015). This utilizes neural links with auditory information being received by the auditory thalamus, which acts as a relaying center of all sensory information to the rest of the brain, and the auditory cortex, which picks up information from the…

    Music interventions can vary from passive listening to active participation such as drumming, singing, and playing musical instruments. The evidences suggest that different type of live or prerecorded music such as classic, Buddhist hymns, Persian music can be listened and have significant impact on the depressive symptoms. There was no mixed finding on the effectiveness of music therapy to manage depression regardless of intervention type, duration, or intensity. However, in the future reviews randomized trails using a larger sample size are required to increase the consistency of study results, thereby maximizing the external validity in order to generalize study…

    Introduction Previous Research article titled “Exercising with an iPod, Friend, or Neither: Which is Better for Psychological Benefits?” stated that exercising, in general, has been proven to reduce the chances of acquiring a variety of illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer and many other life-threatening conditions. In addition, exercising has psychological benefits as well and may increase self-reliance, decrease stress, and improve moods. One of the ways one’s exercising environment could be improved is by incorporating music in it. Those who exercise to music create a more positive atmosphere to workout in which the person is able to accomplish his or her goals, while being pleasantly distracted by the music compared to those who exercise without music. They hypothesized that those who used a device for music (for ex.an iPod) or had a friend to work out…
