Listening to music is very dangerous
Almost all of us loves music and connect with it but we need to watch out since science has proven that music severely affect our brains.
To understand why exactly music makes it seem like less time has passed think of the human brain as a lion eating a bag of money.
It doesn’t matter what the zookeepers distract it with.
All that matters is that they give another zookeeper the chance to sneak up and retrieve the money while the lion is busy deciding which one of them to eat.
Similarly when your brain is distracted by music you’ll be less likely to notice things around you and this includes time.
Our brains have limited input capacity and when something else is using up that capacity we’re less likely to think.
The tricky is that it works the opposite way, too.
In some situations listening to music can actually expand perceived time.
Did you ever wake up in a stranger bed and wonder how your dress got replaced by a stranger shirt?
Now you have something to blame it on besides your bad childhood habits: music.
In a study held by the University of Champagne, different types of music playing in the background caused drinkers to change how they’d described the drinks they already had.
Laid back music led people to rate drinks as mellow and upbeat music resulted in more people calling their drinks refreshing.
There is a reason that horror films scare the crap out of us and it’s not just the creepy settings and the sudden reveal of the zombie right behind you.
It’s the music.
And sometimes the Steven Seagal.
There are certain sounds that we associate with death because they trigger evolutionary fear.
Screams of fear in almost any animal are made up of what scientists have dubbed discordant noises and any noise that makes you feel very unpleasant falls into this category.
Next time you’re getting freaked out by a movie remember that muting it is a better decision than looking away.
Studying music gives you an advantage when it comes to perceiving the emotions of others.
People who play instruments can detect subtle emotional changes in others voice tone.
Also, the fact that they studied music makes them better able to tune out background noise so they can pay attention to what you are saying even at loud places.
People who have studied music have brains wired differently and this rewiring makes them better able to express emotions they are feeling and more able to understand the emotions others express.
This may explain why Adam Levine is so afraid of announcing he is gay.
the world must know the truth!
