what music stimulates brain activity?

Question

what music is best to listen to when you're studying/reading?

Answer 1

Scientific reports have proven that baroque music, that is, music from the 16th century, helps the mind concentrate. This is because such music emits alpha waves, the same waves that are present in our brains when studying. A well-known composer of baroque music is Antonio Vivaldi. Or, you can just tune in to an classical music station when u want to study.

Answer 2

All music stimulates brain activity. It's what kind of brain activity you want that you need to know when choosing the music you use. I know that Mozart is the best to use when you want to help people with learning disabilities and it helps with creative thinking. I know if you want to get a lot of housework done in a short amount of time, fast music is best. When you're studying, no music while you're studying is usually the best.

Answer 3

I would say music that is pleasant and relaxing; because you can study better when you're relaxed and happy.

The type of music that probably best stimulates brain activity is probably classical because it requires processing of a wide range of notes; but I can see how it may actually be "too active" and too distracting (if you have the wrong kind of classical music) for studying.

There's a difference between "stimulating brain activity" and "contributing to a good mood for studying", and I think for your purposes you may want the latter.

Answer 4

I have always performed my best while having Classical concertos and chamber music playing lowly in the background; no operas or anything with words, just music. Maintained a 3.52 GPA this way. Would have been higher if I hadn't had to work so many hours (50-60per wk) while taking 10-12 credits per term.

Answer 5

Background music? Research on productivity with music versus without music is inconclusive. If you think you need music, choose some with no lyrics and with relatively monotonous melodies. Baroque music is the best example. Something with words, a definite beat, a catchy melody, or one of your favorite pieces can easily divert your attention, often without your being aware of it at first.

Perhaps you might try "white noise" -- it masks out environmental noises and helps minimize distractions. Your radio can be an inexpensive source of white noise. Switch to FM and team to the high end of your dial. You should get a steady static or form of white noise, unless your radio is an especially good one. Or keep a fan running.

Answer 6

According to studies, classical music stimulates the mind. Particularly Mozart. But all classical music put me to sleep.

Answer 7

Baroque Era Music

Answer 8

Studying or reading -- no music because concentration or focus on the matter being studied or read is very important to better, if not fully, understand its contents.

Working on a project -- Rock, Metal, Glam, Rock 'n Roll, etc. closely related to Rock
Doing household chores -- same as above
Working at the office -- Pop Rock/Metal
Feeling emotional -- Mellow pop or rock

Answer 9

Any music you enjoy will stimulate your brain in amazing ways. While studying, maybe some bland background music if you absolutlely need some "white noise." Otherwise, no music during study.

Answer 10

Heavy metal stimulates brain wawes in human adults. For small or unborn children classical music is the best.
