• April 24, 2024

Music is part of the life of every human being, is found everywhere and has an influence that goes beyond harmonizing. In addition to helping to reduce stress, relax and stimulate concentration, a melody can heal the brain and allow a person to recover speech.

According to an investigation carried out in the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and at the Harvard Medical School in Boston, United States , through music people who have suffered a cardiovascular accident can recover the language, since they use a different area to the speech: the center of the song.

Directed by the neurologist Gottefried Schlaug, The study establishes a deeper relationship between music and the brain.

Most of the connections between the areas of the brain that control movement and those of hearing are on the left side, and melodies could be an alternative means to engage and stimulate this part to generate that people can talk.

Melodic intonation therapy is a multisensory experience that activates various links within the brain; but if you want to know more about this alternative, GetQoralHealth and the page TED they present you the following video with the violinist Robert Vijay Gupta:
