The influence of music and its impact on the human mind is an enthralling subject for neuroscientists investigating the brain's mysteries.
''The musical brain'' is a documentary movie about music which appeared in 2009. The documentary explores how music is used by the brain to influence the human experience. It explores how music is viewed by those who make it and by those who listen to it, with perspectives from Grammy Award-winning artists Sting, Wyclef Jean, Michael Buble, and four-time Grammy nominee Feist.
We understand how the brain shapes the human experience mainly through the journey of recording artist Sting. The film discusses how music affects our lives as Sting tries to discover how music manifests in his brain. Brain scientist/musician Dr. Daniel Levitin is also featuring in the movie.
The documentary explores the physical, neurological, and emotional reactions to music in children and adults using the scientific results of leading medical experts, including Dr. Daniel Levitin.
Sting, inspired by Dr. Daniel Levitin's, puts his own musical mind to the test by entering an fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) system and having his brain scanned. The film uses state-of-the-art technologies to see how Sting reacts to different kinds of music — complicated and plain — and what his musical brain shows about him.
It seems that Sting is not only delighted with the shape of his heart, as he accustomed us to in his songs, but he is also eager to reveal fascinating intriguing facts about his brain. Isn't it surprisingly beautiful?
This seems like an interesting topic that I would like to approach more. So, hope it also piqued your curiosity.
That being said, wish you have a nice end of the week ❣️
