Music is known to heal emotions and listening to the right selection helps alleviate painful memories. — AFPAll I Want For Christmas is YouThese songs don’t just put us in a festive mood, they also awaken deeply buried memories.Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral NeuroscienceThe field of neuroscience is increasingly interested in music, as it mobilises a multitude of cognitive, perceptual, motor and emotional functions.
When we listen to music, the hippocampus – the seat of memory – and the amygdala, the heart of emotions – work in concert.A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, and the University of Colorado Boulder wondered whether music might not only revive memories, but also modify their emotional content.First, they asked several participants to memorise short, emotionally neutral stories.
Finally, on the third day, the volunteers were asked to recall the memorised stories, but without any background music.When participants recalled neutral stories while listening to emotionally-charged music, they unconsciously added details reflecting the mood of the piece. As a result, the stories they recalled while listening to happy music were perceived as more positive than they originally were.“Music acts as an emotional lure, becoming intertwined with memories and subtly altering their emotional tone,” explains Yiren Ren, one of the coauthors of the study, in an article for The Conversation.Listening to music strongly stimulates the hippocampus and amygdala, demonstrating just how intimately memory and emotion are linked.
These regions also interact with areas of the brain involved in visual processing, as if music made the memories more vivid and emotionally charged.The right musical selection could, for example, enable people with depression or post-traumatic stress disorder to revisit painful memories with a more positive tone. — AFP Relaxnews
