Priyanka Shekar explains that music can affect the chemistry of the brain. It impacts our mood, our energy levels, and our memory.
How?
Well, science isn't entirely sure. When exposed to music with a strong beat, our brainwaves try to resonate with it. This phenomenon is unique to human beings, and song birds.
Our brains are specifically wired to react to sounds this way.
Not only does this brainwave resonation create alertness (if the rhythm is fast), or calmness (if the rhythm is slow), but music can also engage the hippocampus. This is the region of the brain known as the emotion and memory center.
Ever hear a song, and feel transported back to a different time?
That's the hippocampus.
The sonic profiles stored in the hippocampus are so potent, that this music-triggered memory recall has even been observed in those with Alzheimer's.
Shekar knows how vital sound is to the human experience, and she goes on to explain the ways we listen to this sound. You hear a difference in how harmonies come together when sitting on stage with the artists than when you are in the audience. The room you're in makes a difference too, with sound waves bouncing off hard surfaces, and blending together, and finally reaching your ear.
The Lincoln MKX features QuantumLogic® surround sound, which lets you choose from distinct listening modes. You can listen from the stage. You can listen from the front row. It's up to you.
