Music has been shown to have a beneficial influence on cognitive(认知) process in healthy people and those who have brain damage. For example, daily music therapy can help to increase cognitive recovery. Fabien Perrin at the University of Lyon, France, and colleagues recorded brain activity in four patients while they were reading a list of peoples names, including their own names. Before the list, they listened to either their favorite musicchosen by family or friends or “musical noise”. The team then repeated the experiment with ten healthy volunteers. In all four patients, playing the music rather than musical noise promoted the quality of the brains response to their own names, bringing it closer to the brain response of the healthy volunteers to hearing their names. The work was presented at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting in Brighton, UK, last month.Perrin has two theories about whats going on. “Listening to preferred music excites our memory of ourselvesso it could make it easier for the response to the information such as our own names,” he says. “Another theory is that music promotes awareness, so maybe it temporarily increases consciousness and recognition of ones own names becomes easier.”“The familiar music might be causing an emotional arousal effect, and once the patient with brain damage is aroused, there is a small window that opens for increased communication and the brain responds to the name,” suggests Carsten Finke, an expert at Charite Medical School in Berlin, Germany, who was not involved in the study. So is Perrins music waking some form of consciousness in the people with brain damage? “I havent come across any responses like this to music before and its too early to conclude that it has any therapeutic effects in these patients,” says Adrian Owen at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. 56.
