5 aspects to understand the effects of music

According to National Council for Culture and the Arts (Conaculta) is still 100% unknown why music generates different emotions in humans.

However, the researcher José Luis Díaz Gómez, from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), points out that it is important to identify five aspects to understand the effects of music : Physics, such as vibration or resonance; physiological, hearing; behavioral, execution and digitalization; mental, perception, cognition and emotion; and brain representation.

On the other hand, a study of University of Pennsylvania details that when certain sounds are associated in the brain with strong emotions, when listening sounds similar can evoke certain feelings, even outside the context where it originated.

However, an investigation of the Dartmouth University reveals that the prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that recognizes music, an area that is fundamental for the learning of knowledge and for the response or control of emotions.

Finally, a study by the Max Planck Institute, in Germany, published in the journal Current Biology , details that music transmits three basic emotions: happiness, sadness and fear. And you, what do you feel when you listen to the music of your favorite movie?
