A paper published by two researchers at the University of London claims to prove that music affects our responses to visual images. In "Crossmodal Transfer of Emotion by Music," Joydeep Bhattacharya and Nidhya Logeswaran report that people who look at a picture of a human face can be influenced in how they evaluate the emotion shown by that face if they listen to a 15-second snippet(片断) of music before viewing it. If the music is "happy," then the subject is more likely to judge the facial expression shown in the picture as happy—even if the expression is neutral—and vice versa.
Forgive me for rolling my eyes, but I’ve been down this road a few million times, and I still don’t know where it leads. Only the tone-deaf doubt the power of music, though some feel it more strongly than others. Kingsley Amis actually went so far as to claim that "only a world without love strikes me as instantly and decisively more terrible than one without music." Catch me on the right day and I might well go along with Amis—but why? What is it about music that is capable of swaying human emotions?
It won’t surprise me if neuroscientists eventually succeed in unlocking the mystery of music. I don’t fear that prospect, but I do have a suspicion that part of the charm of music lies in the fact that we don’t know what it means, any more than we can explain the equally mysterious charm of a plotless ballet by George Balanchine or an abstract painting by Piet Mondrian. "We dare to go into the world where there are no names for anything," Balanchine once said to Jerome Robbins.
Most of us, on the other hand, live in a prosy(单调的), commonsense world where everything has a name and most things have an explanation. That’s why it is so refreshing to enter into the presence of great art, and why the greatest works of art always contain an element of ambiguity(含糊). A masterpiece doesn’t push you around. It lets you make up your own mind about what it means—and change it as often as you like. [br] What is the finding made by Joydeep Bhattacharya and Nidhya Logeswaran?
