When you are listening to music, the short answer is A WHOLE LOT! Although your ears are designed to transmit sound waves, you actually hear with your brain, as it decodes and interprets what the sound waves mean. This process activates multiple areas of your brain at the same time. Here are six things that happen in the brain when you listen to music:
a)
Levels
of the neurotransmitter dopamine—the feel better chemical—rise.
b)
Levels of the stress hormone cortisol
fall—reducing chronic stress.
c)
Endorphins that help you feel better also help
you cope with pain are released
d) Neuropeptides
can improve your mood as you listen to upbeat music.
e) Listening
to sad or melancholy music can help you get in touch with your emotions and
help you heal.
f) When
you listen to live music, the bonding chemical, oxytocin is released that helps people
learn to trust one another.
