The experiment had been conducted on people about to undergo surgery and discussed how those who had listened to music had lower cortisol levels, the chemical your brain creates when stressed, than those who had the anti-anxiety drug. This shows a good understanding how it can help education for children to college kids that have over-average cortisol levels more consistent. The article also discussed how under a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine showed that there were brain regions involved in movement, attention, planning, and memory that were active proving that while music is playing it consist of more than just processing …show more content…
These studies are pushing to show how music can benefit more things like long-term learning or physical health. One example is how studies are undergoing tests on why or how our bodies are able to do more physical activity while listening to music. Over the years, people who are in some form of music class growing up are told how they are more likely to achieve a higher status in society or be better off overall. Some thought that the reason is because they were told positive reinforcement that they did well, but the research shows how it is more than just an ego-boost. Baroque music is playing a major part in psychology and taking education and medicine to a new level and from the research it is
