Musicians—from karaoke singers to professional violin players—are better able to hear targeted sounds in a noisy environment, according to new research that adds to evidence that music makes the brain work better.
" In the past ten years there’s been an explosion of research on music and the brain," Aniruddh Patel, the Senior Fellow at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, said today at a press briefing.
Most recently brain-imaging studies have shown that music activates many diverse parts of the brain, including an overlap where the brain processes music and language.
Language is a natural aspect to consider in looking at how music affects the brain, Patel said. Like music, language is "universal, there’s a strong learning component, and it carries complex meanings. "
For example, brains of people exposed to even casual musical training have an enhanced ability to generate the brain wave patterns associated with specific sounds, be they musical or spoken, said study leader Nina Kraus, director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Kraus’ previous research had shown that when a person listens to a sound, the brain wave recorded in response is physically the same as the sound wave itself. In fact, "playing" the brain wave produces a nearly identical sound.
But for people without a trained ear for music, the ability to make these patterns decreases as background noise increases, experiments show. Musicians, by contrast, have subconsciously trained their brains to better recognize selective sound patterns, even as background noise goes up.
At the same time, people with certain developmental disorders, such as dyslexia (阅读障碍症), have a harder time hearing sounds amid the noise—a serious problem, for example, for students straining to hear the teacher in a noisy classroom.
Musical experience could therefore be a key therapy for children with dyslexia and similar language-related disorders, Kraus said.
In a similar vein, Harvard Medical School neuroscientist Gottfried Schlaug has found that stroke patients who have lost the ability to speak can be trained to say hundreds of phrases by singing them first.
In his research, Schlaug demonstrated the results of intensive musical therapy on patients with lesions (损伤) on the left sides of their brains, those areas most associated with language.
Before the therapy, these stroke patients responded to questions with largely incoherent sounds and phrases. But after just a few minutes with therapists, who asked them to sing phrases and tap their hands to the rhythm, the patients could sing " Happy Birthday," recite their addresses, and communicate if they were thirsty.
" The underdeveloped systems on the right side of the brain that respond to music became enhanced and changed structures," Schlaug said.
Overall, Schlaug said, the experiments show that " music might be an alternative medium for engaging parts of the brain that are otherwise not engaged. " [br] According to Kraus, the significance of the link between music and the brain lies in the fact that________.
选项
A、the language ability can be enhanced by listening to music
B、all kinds of brain disorders can be cured by listening to music
C、music is the sole method to deal with mental diseases
D、music can be effective in treating people with language problems
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的Kraus、music和brain定位到原文第五至九段推理判断题。文章第五至九段讲述了柯若斯对音乐与大脑关系的研究。根据第九段的总结可知,柯若斯认为对于患有阅读障碍症和类似语言性紊乱疾病的儿童来说,听音乐可能是个关键的治疗方法。由此推断,音乐对治疗语言问题类疾病是有效的,故D)为本题答案。
