Deep dives
Music as Organized Sound
Music is defined as organized sound, and it can be found in unexpected places like the rhythmic hum of a train or the mechanical beats of office equipment. Our brains are naturally attuned to respond to music with automatic processing, activating various brain areas related to sound processing, memory, and reward. The rhythm in music is particularly influential, as it guides our responses and can elicit physiological effects such as increased heart rate and respiratory rate. Even infants instinctively respond to music, moving rhythmically before they can crawl or speak. While other species can respond to beats and rhythms, our unique relationship with music is specifically human, making it an inherent part of our nature.
