Music and its effect on brain power


OK so we have all heard they myth. classical music will help you think harder and loud heavy music with diminish your brains power. But have you ever looked to see if anyones done a stud y to prove it? Well it turns out there was a study done by the University of Nebraska by a Mike Manthei and Steve Kelly.


The 2 of them did extensive studies using large test samples and produced a series of results that were quite intriguing.

Before you go out and stock up on then essential Mozart collection featuring Bach you should jump over to their site and check out their results.


But if your too lazy to do that i'll give u a brief summary here :). basically they found no direct correlation between a certain style of music and intelligence only that one form of music was able the relax the listener much better than other ones(take a guess which one). That's right classical music has been proven to calm people down.. but unfortunately at this point in time they haven't found the magic song that will help u pass all the exams :)
