Can any of you like to sing or join a band with friends? If yes, and vocalist of duty so it should be easy to memorize many songs, right? Well, want to know the things that make us easy to memorize the song?
The answer: a nap. Yes, according to the study, the notes will be easier to remember if he heard a nap.
According to the research at Northwestern University, some parts of the brain becomes more active when it is sleeping. Not a serious night's sleep, but short bed with a short duration of the 90 minutes as nap time.
The researchers asked volunteers who are studying music for a nap. During sleep, they played music and their brains were scanned with a special tool called Electroencephalography (EEG).
The scans showed increased activity in the brain associated with memory. This increase occurred in a phase of slow-wave sleep or short-wave sleep, as usually happens when someone was taking a nap.
Likewise, after waking up, the participants become better at playing the music that is being studied. The error rate he did in playing melodies of the song that is played during sleep tend to be better than the control group.
"This finding confirms the results of previous studies that external stimulation during sleep can affect the ability of the complex," said Ken A Paller, senior researcher involved in the study as quoted by the Daily dariScience.
According to Paller, increased brain activity during sleep is not only beneficial for those who are learning music. In studying a foreign language, words or new terms will be easier to remember if often played while sleeping.
Briefly, previously not possible if you've read the dangerous sleep while listening to music?
Indeed, research conducted at Northwestern University is not contrary to the previous opinion. Indeed, during sleep when we listen to music, the sound waves received by the hearing aid in the ear
These waves will be forwarded to our brain. Brain that should be re-stimulated rest to work and process information coming.
Previous hypothesis that this would support cutting-edge research. Because the brain back to work, then listen to the music becomes useful when we want to quickly recall the tone.
However, as mentioned at the beginning, how to memorize while sleep becomes effective when in a state of short sleep like a nap. Meanwhile, when the night should sleep in a state of calm. Because our brain needs a rest too, right?
