Sad ratings are most strongly associated with changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and skin conductance and temperature. The fear ratings were associated with changes in the rate and amplitude of blood flow. The happy ratings are associated with changes in respiration measures. The correlations are fairly low, however. A limiting factor may have been characteristic response times and lags of physiological systems. The general difficulty of identifying emotion- specific changes in these psychophysiological measures should also be noted. Physiological changes depended on the amount and type of musical emotion. The degree of correspondence depended on the emotion-eliciting…
Music can increase a person’s knowledge by helping them remember things for a test or for just a fun fact. This is called the Mozart effect. A lot of students all over the world think that music enhances their ability to do better in school. Research shows that listening to sophisticating music can increase the dopamine in the brain.

Being a college student in this day in age is never easy. We are always on the move and become stressed very easily. One of the ways students deal with the pressure of ongoing assignments, papers, and various projects is to simply listen to music. Music is very popular to our specific age group, but is consuming different styles of music necessarily a healthy alternate to the stress? How does music affect the heart rate and what different types of music have a greater affect on heart rate? Music most definitely has emotional value. Heart rate can be directly influenced by these emotional changes. Our group decided to test music tempo’s effect on heart rate. This experiment is relevant to one’s health because it is important to understand how to control one’s heart rate. Before we started conducting our experiment, we hypothesized that fast tempo music increases heart rates while slower paced music would keep heart rate at a normal level.…
After observing these results, I could come to a conclusion that a large proportion of students in my age group listen to music while completing homework or studying. The question arose in my mind if music actually has an effect on a…
There is rhythm to all things on earth. The heartbeat of a person contains a constant beat; it may speed up or slow down, depending on the mood of the person. If the person is in flight their heart beats faster. If the person is calm and relaxed, their heart will beat slower. A city has a faster rhythm, with louder sounds, because a city is fast paced and noisy. A rural town has slower rhythm because of the slow paced lifestyle. The sun, the earth's metronome, has an elliptic rhythm. Music has such a strong ability to affect mood because it contains beats and rhythms, just like life and everything in it. Music is just the tangible auditory depiction of the rhythms of life.…

There have been countless studies performed to understand the complex correlation of the complicated brain and music. For example, in a study performed by Mark Tarrant, David Hargreaves, and Adrian North, the men sought to examine the manipulation of the mind based on music. In the study, they played music in a gym and examined the moods through testing their subjects immediately following their workout. They offered the participants the ability to help out a charity, thus examining the affect that the music had on them. They measured two different groups, those who listened to annoying music and those who listened to uplifting music. The results revealed that the uplifting music did in fact manipulate the mind by causing the subjects to be more supportive, while the people who listened to the annoying music were short-tempered and unhelpful. Another famous study has dealt with how MozartÕs masterpieces help concentration and memorization when studying for academics. It has been found in many different studies that because of the mathematical rhythms in MozartÕs musical pieces, mental clarity is enhanced, therefore improving study skills. After researching this study, our group was able to construct our own hypothesis. The study also made us more hopeful that our hypothesis would turn our conclusive. An experiment performed by Teresa Lesiuk dealt with the…

These changes induced in the brain were reflected in the measured cardiovascular parameters the mean heart rate, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP) reduced while listening to subjects preferred pleasant music (Low arousal /Positive valence ) when compared with baseline and rest 1 ( after listening to Music). These changes were reversed while listening to unpleasant music. The mean heart rate reduced to 74 beats / min while listening to like music when compared with baseline and rest 1 (79 beats / min). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) reduced to 91 mm of Hg while listening to like…
