About music and health again

About music and health again.
Certain aspects of music have the same implication on public even when they live in very different societies, a new study reveals. Researchers asked 40 Mbenzele Pygmies in the Congolese rainforest to lend an ear to short clips of music. They were asked to keep one's ears open to their own music and to unfamiliar Western music. Mbenzele Pygmies do not have access to radio, small screen or electricity for more info. The same 19 selections of music were also played to 40 amateur or trained musicians in Montreal.

Musicians were included in the Montreal group because Mbenzele Pygmies could be considered musicians as they all peach regularly for ceremonial purposes, the study authors explained. Both groups were asked to rank how the music made them feel using emoticons, such as happy, sad or excited faces get more info. There were significant differences between the two groups as to whether a definite piece of music made them feel good or bad.

However, both groups had alike responses to how exciting or calming they found the different types of music. "Our major idea is that listeners from very different groups both responded to how exciting or calming they felt the music to be in similar ways," Hauke Egermann, of the Technical University of Berlin, said in a advice release from McGill University in Montreal. Egermann conducted piece of the study as a postdoctoral fellow at McGill.
