From Perception to Pleasure: How Music Changes the Brain | Dr. Robert Zatorre | TEDxHECMontréal

In 2005 he was named holder of a James McGill chair in Neuroscience. In 2006 he became the founding co-director of the international laboratory for Brain, Music, and Sound research (BRAMS), a unique multi-university consortium with state-of-the art facilities dedicated to the cognitive neuroscience of music. In 2011 he was awarded the IPSEN foundation prize in neuronal plasticity, in 2013 he won the Knowles prize in hearing research from Northwestern University, and in 2017 was named a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He lives in Montreal with his wife and collaborator Virginia Penhune, professor of psychology at Concordia University. He tries to keep up his baroque repertoire on the organ whenever he can get a chance.
Dr. Zatorre is a cognitive neuroscientist at the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University. His principal interests relate to the neural substrate for auditory cognition, with special emphasis on two complex and characteristically human abilities: speech and music. He and his collaborators have published over 280 scientific papers on a variety of topics including pitch perception, musical imagery, absolute pitch, music and emotion, perception of auditory space, and brain plasticity in the blind and the deaf. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I came up with similar conclusions in 2005, but I'm no neuroscientist, just a musician. In my formula, I posited that the degree of enjoyment of a piece of music is directly proportional to the *?!* factor and inversely proportional to the *"age/I've already heard"* factor. The ?! notation is chronological: first, the *? (question mark)* - that strange sensation when you listen to a piece of music for the first time. _Objective_ and not "good" or "bad" per se - just a sensation of strangeness: the landmark of a diverse piece of music, which has the power to evolve into good or bad feelings. Then, the *! (exclamation mark)* part, _subjective_ - here one could experience somatic sensations like thrills down the spine, cold sweat, even a lump in the throat. Here is where your emotions let you determine whether you like a piece of music, or not. I think this parallels the findings presented here, with the interaction between the two systems, the first which allows to analyze sound patterns and make predictions, and the second which evaluates the outcomes of these predictions and generates positive (or negative) emotions depending on expectations. As I said, I can also add to these findings since I don't see the effect of the "I've already heard" factor here. It is my experience that when you're familiar with a piece of music there's no longer a place for predictions. That's why I wrote from the start that the ?! factor is inversely proportional to the amount of music that someone has already experienced. This is just a very synthetic recount of the full theory which was posted on a music forum many years ago and spans multiple pages. I got a lot of vitriol for presenting my "theory" back then, probably because it was too long-winded and not suited to the medium it was created for. I am glad that this is being partly validated by a neuroscientist now. Better late than never, I guess.

    In Schoenberg’s discovery of Atonal 12, there was more than just a preferential shift in the appeal of music, there was a tectonic shift in the understanding of what music does to the brain. The Stanford Research Institute in conjunction with Tavistock UK explored what these presentations of musical structure do to the brain. Look into it.

    What are the neurological benefits of MAKING music (instrumental or choral), either solo or together, in connecting the parts of the brain, deriving pleasure, neurological development, etc.? How are the benefits of passive listening to music and making instrumental or choral music different? I would bet that MAKING music offers more benefits than just listening to it...

    The commentary on the relationship between the auditory and motor centres in the brain betray a eurocentric bias. For the lecturer, the phenomenon that requires explanation is the incredible capacity of humans to produce physical movements that create music; for many other people around the world, the beauty of music is its capacity to cause physical movement in the listener.

    There is no contradiction. People across cultures (Western or not) enjoy moving to music. But in order to move to music, of any culture, someone has to produce it by singing or playing an instrument. There is nothing "eurocentric" about it.

    @@robertzatorre797I agree that there is no contradiction; to study the neuroscience of music production is not to say it is superior to dance. However, for many people in the world and for (i would guess) most of human history, production of rhythm required less dexterity and intricate control of tools. The choice to study classical musicianship in order to understand the neuroscience of audio-motor entrainment instead of studying the brain during dance (I belive) reflect the author's cultural background rather than it being selected as the logical place to start.

    2 sides of the same coin. Dancing is synchronizing your body to the sounds generated by the movements of the musician, the musician is synchronizing their movements to their mental image of what they want to play, and perhaps even to the movements they want to drive in their audience, coming full circle. Some musicians get crowd participation in the form of singing, another case of the crowd synchronizing movements (of their vocal systems) to the movements of the performer. Even to untrained dancers who might find most musical cues too complex to follow, the act of clapping in sync to the beat gives pleasure, (no matter how poorly they do it, lmao).
