ABSTRACT

The study revealed the impact of music on human brain. In normal individuals as well as in patients with focal neurological lesions, reveal that music can change the state of large-scale neural systems of the human brain. The changes are not confined to brain sectors related to auditory and motor processing; they also occur in regions related to the regulation of life processes. Music is often thought of a nonverbal language, capable of communicating emotional messages. Areas of the brain have been identified that, when damaged, impact only musical skills. At the same time, while the initial sensation of the sounds that make up music is a predominantly auditory experience, the neural basis of music perception lies in several different areas of the brain and overlaps with those used in language, emotion, and motor tasks. Thus music is a complex experience that utilizes seemingly divergent abilities of the brain. The study concluded that relationship between music and human brain has become a frontier field in the study of brain science and music psychology. Music has outstanding impact on human brain development as well as cognitive and memory development. In addition, music also shows significant effect on memory enhancement in a clear molecular level. The study has further depended people’s understanding of the value of music and show more in the broader development of human brain and human potential. The review of the literature warrants the conclusion that music positively impacts on human brain. One of the recommendation was that every individual, be it a child or adolescent or adult should make music part of his life.in order to enhance his brain functionality.
