Brain prefers classical music

Saying "This song is very good" or "Wow! What horrible music "is very common. Everyone has their particular tastes and reject artists and bands that are beyond personal preferences. But a poll published in the journal BMC Research Notes reveals that there may be a pattern. According to the article, people tend to like songs that sound "complex" in the ears, but they are "open to interpretation and stored" by the brain, such as classical compositions. The study's author, Nicholas Hudson, a biologist at the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, said the brain compresses the musical information as a computer software makes an audio file: it identifies and removes unnecessary data standards or redundant. Classical music, for example, can seem complex to those who listen, but the brain can find patterns for the compression work. Little else is discarded. Hudson used compression programs listening to mimic how the brain and used songs that had been analyzed in a 2009 study that measured how 26 volunteers enjoy music from different genres such as classical, jazz, pop, folk, electronica, rock, punk, techno and tango.

Among the songs they chose the biologist, "I Should Be So Lucky" from Kylie Minogue, was compressed to 69.5% of its original size, "White Wedding", the Billy Idol was reduced to 68.5%, and Beethoven's Third Symphony was reduced to 40.6% of its initial size. The brain, as the software found more patterns in the music of German composer. With other songs, he made short work of compression, because the rest was "thrown away". By comparison, the songs more "compressible" those were chosen as the most pleasant in the 2009 study.

But why our brain likes the songs that make you work harder to compress them? "It's our nature to feel more satisfaction in achieving a goal when the task is more difficult. Things easy bring a superficial pleasure. The simplest songs, with few compression standards, quickly become annoying and no longer stimulating, "said Hudson. This is an explanation for that feeling to get sick of a song quickly. The test also included random noises that could only be compressed to 86%. The result was that these sounds caused indifference and boredom in people.

has been said that classical music helps memory, helps focus on studies and may even make people smarter. This is another study that proves the quality of classical music, but as the saying goes, no accounting for taste.

Michelson Borges Note: I once talked with a popular singer Adventist and she told me she had become convinced that the ideal was not to use the strong percussion accompaniments. I asked her how she had come to that conclusion and she replied: "The responsibility for the production of my CD asked me if I wanted the drums tracks. I was studying the matter and said he did not want drums. His response confirmed my decision. He said the battery helps to sell and make music simpler also cheapens the production. Without battery, it would have to invest in improving the orchestration. But it's not just that we have to do, offer the best for God? "Unfortunately, in the Christian community there are those that produce disposable music, repetitive (almost hypnotic) and full of dissonance, melismas (vocal concerts) and strong percussion. Remember that, as shown in the above research, the brain identifies patterns and remove unnecessary or redundant data. " There's music in the Adventist Hymnal, for example, which have been sung for centuries and still speak to the heart of the worshiper modern. On the other hand, there is music "sacred" created recently and that quickly become "annoying" and are doomed to oblivion. The musician, just like any other Christian professional, you should always ask yourself: Is this the best I can offer to God or just about anything to suit my taste and taste of my 'fans'? "[MB]
