Your favorite songs' emotional impact is revealed via research
Are you familiar with the sensation of being suddenly transported back in time as music begins to play? Perhaps it's the song that always comes to mind when you're getting ready for a big night out or when you think about an impromptu road trip with friends.
The majority of us consider these musical moments to be unalterable, unclouded pictures of the past. According to recent studies, music may change our memories rather than merely bringing them back.
The connecting wire between Brain and Music-
Listening to music involves more than just your hearing. Your brain's memory and emotion centers, such as the amygdala, which processes emotions, and the hippocampus, which aids in memory storage and retrieval, also light up. This explains why certain songs are not just ingrained in your memory but also strongly associated with significant life events.
During these memories, brain scans showed increased activity in the hippocampus and amygdala, which are important regions for emotional memory. Strong connections between these areas and visual sensory processing were also found in the study, indicating that music may evoke feelings in the mental images we create during memory recall.
