Reflection to music and human body
In this essay a scientific approach will be used to explain the theories discussed in lectures and topics studied in lecture 6,7,9 and 11 will be the main focus.
First and foremost, the relationship between space and music is an interesting topic that fascinates me a lot. When talking about space and music, the way how our relative position to the music source affects the amount and quality of music we hear is essential to explain and study. Due to the uniqueness of our position in space, we all hear something different. First, the volume of sound we hear depends on the amplitude of sound wave we receive. There are two factors, namely distance from the sound source and the path sound travels. Absorption occurs when sound travels in the air as well as hits on every object, which leads to reduction of wave amplitude same with the amount of absorption. In short, farer we are from the source, sound deteriorates more; more reflection occurs, more extent in which the volume decreases due to objects hit and distance travelled. That is why there are more speakers behind the balcony seats than the back side than the front in theatres and halls: direct sound from the stage is much weaker where listeners stay far from the stage.
Humans, especially the ones who love music much, demand great quality of music. We build theatres and music rooms of special shape to allow better enjoyment of music: we produce high-technology well-designed headphones to allow best transmittance of music to our auditary system, we develop portable music devices such as mp3 and iPod to allow music experience at anytime. But why does everybody incline to music so much that we do such many things to improve our music enjoyment? Researchers have yet to find out the reason. But according to investigations and studies humans have done till now, it has been discovered that the regions in brain that are activated by music are more or less the same as those linked to other blissful stimuli such as
