"This Is Your Brain on Music"
Neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) Daniel Levitin’s wonderful new book explains why music is a critical step in human evolution and why the songs we loved as teens remain stuck on "play" in our heads.
If you happened to have been born between about 1978 and 1981, there’s a fair chance you count yourself an obsessive of the Southern California rock band Weezer. The affection would net make sense to those even just a bit older or younger, who might regard Weezer’s guitar pop as clever and pleasing but also somewhat too shallow to have much lasting significance. Those of a certain age, though, experienced the group’s 1994 eponymous debut release, known to fans as the Blue Album, as a thing of precise and overflowing emotion—10 tracks that functioned like keys to secret locks in the teenage brain, opening up all the awkwardness and anxiousness of those melodramatic high school years.
We all have music like this, music that burns into the soul when we’re young and remains essential for the rest of time. For me it was the Blue Album and anything the Smashing Pumpkins did up until about 1998.
For you it’s something else, but it’s surely something—there’s a tape or record or CD that once knocked you out with a force that, cheesy as it is to remember, felt like true love. Put on one of those songs now and, if it’s been a long time, the effect is like an old movie; the scenes play back for you in entire exhilarating reels. What’s happening when music captures you in this way deserves some scrutiny. You may feel like the songs are grabbing your heart, but what’s actually going on is in your head. There, says Daniel J. Levitin in his new book "This Is Your Brain on Music," an "exquisite orchestration of brain regions" are engaged in a "precision choreography of neurochemical(影响神经系统的化学物质). uptake and release." Why human beings make and enjoy music is, in Levitin’s telling, a delicious story of evolution, anatomy, perception and computation—a story that’s all the more thrilling when you consider its result, the joy of living in a world filled with music.
