A friend of mine recently told me that "upbeat music" has a positive effect on the brain. I'm waiting to hear back from him for the article that discusses this subject.
I've done my own research and this is what I've found thus far: http://dana.org/news/cerebrum/detail.aspx?id=26122 I felt like crap today and could barely function. I noticed after listening to some music that I know by heart...I felt better. Any research that shows cold hard evidence of improvements in brain functioning from music therapy?

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |
