Music To Enhance Skill

A new study has revealed that music training may be more important for enhancing verbal communication skills than learning phonics.

The study conducted by NorthwesternUniversity found that music ‘fundamentally shapes sensory circuitry’.

“Audiovisual processing was much enhanced in musicians’ brains compared to non-musician counterparts, and musicians also were more sensitive to subtle changes in both speech and music sounds,” said Nina Kraus, Hugh Knowles Professor of Communication Sciences and Neurobiology and director of Northwestern’s Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory, where the work was performed.

“Our study indicates that the high-level cognitive processing of music affects automatic processing that occurs early in the processing stream and fundamentally shapes sensory circuitry,” she added. The nervous system’s multi-sensory processing begins in the brainstem, an evolutionarily ancient part of the brain previously thought to be relatively UN malleable

Very nice article, Sunkan.
