Q&A: What is the process that make us feel emotion when hearing music (notes and tones, even without lyrics)?
Question by Scottie: What is the process that make us feel emotion when hearing music (notes and tones, even without lyrics)?
Is it based on memory or do certain high/low notes trigger a certain part of the brain?
Like when you hear a score for a movie without lyrics that can make you feel emotion without having lyrics, is it from associating the sounds with certain emotions, or is it that certain musical notes or tones activate those emotions naturally…Thanks : D
Thanks!
Heres what i got form a google search of “brain process of music”
quote:
” Your inner ear contains a spiral sheet that the sounds of music pluck like a guitar string. This plucking triggers the firing of brain cells that make up the hearing parts of your brain. At the highest station, the auditory cortex, just above your ears, these firing cells generate the conscious experience of music. Different patterns of firing excite other ensembles of cells, and these associate the sound of music with feelings, thoughts, and past experiences.
That’s a sketch of how the brain listens to music — just a short ditty to outline the complex symphony of activity that governs our perception of everything from Bach to U2. It’s also a lot more than was known until recently. ”
