The external path assumes that a person, when he listens to music at a certain moment, creates emotional feelings in him. As for the direct impact of music, it occurs outside the cerebral cortex. The sound signal is directly received by the auricles, after which it is transformed into a nerve impulse and passes into the hypothalamus along the nerve pathways. The hypothalamus already in turn transforms this impulse into an emotional experience.
The cerebral cortex directly receives impulses from the hypothalamus, which in turn informs it of the onset of emotional states. From the occipital parts of the brain, she in turn receives information about the sound signal caught by the organs of hearing. Through the cerebral cortex, this information is combined into associations.
The hypothalamus is endowed with yet another rather important function - to synchronize biorhythms. This synchronization depends directly on how normal and uniformly functioning individual processes in the body, information about which periodically enters the hypothalamus through the autonomic nervous system. In the case when some organs are too loaded, while others, on the contrary, are underloaded, then in this case the synchronization fails. The ratio and duration of their periods is shifted. The result is a violation of the heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and circulatory rhythm. The hypothalamus, in turn, receives the necessary information about these disorders and restores the original rhythm.
For example, when a person runs, his muscles are cut much more often than when the person is walking. In this case, the rhythms of breathing and heart lag behind, the blood begins to flow into the muscles, but no longer stand the frequency that was needed during the run. Hypothalamus, in turn, again receives information about the violation of synchronism of the rhythms of the body and consequently increases the frequency of heart rhythms and respiration. Due to this, the metabolic rate is formed, which in turn is required for running. Blood evenly enters the muscles, which in turn ensures their normal functioning.
Music structure
What about music, then it in turn contains a fairly large number of different periodic structures. The impulses that the hypothalamus receives from the hearing organs have insignificant differences in comparison with other pulses received by it. Therefore, he processes them by the same methods. But he will not be able to restore the synchronicity of musical rhythms. In this case, it can only create an unpleasant state in a person. Thus, unpleasant emotions that appear in many people under the influence of polythonal and polyrhythmic music are explained.
As for the functioning of the hypothalamus, it is different during sleep and immediately during wakefulness. It is he who is the "console" for controlling all phases of sleep and falling asleep. For example, in order to fall asleep, a person needs certain enzymes, the hypothalamus in turn activates the glands that directly release these enzymes. In the event that this does not happen, then the person will not be able to fall asleep or wake up. It is in the hypothalamus that the "pleasure center" is located. According to many experiments, it was proved that this part of the hypothalamus causes a state of pleasure. In animals, the same center is also present.
On the musical impulses the hypothalamus reacts in the same way as on all other ones that come to it. In this regard, he reacts positively to music when it meets the following parameters:
Music in turn should consist of periodically repeating sound elements. As for the frequencies of these periods themselves, they must be different, that is, both low-frequency and high-frequency. Due to this property, musical periods become similar to biorhythmic, as in the human body there are many different-frequency biorhythms. Here it is worth noting that the frequency of some biorhythms is measured by years, and others by only a thousandths of a second. Sound, which does not have any periodic structures, is not perceived as music.
As for the periodic sound structures, they must in turn be inter-synchronous. Since human biorhythms are strictly synchronized. For example, one breathing cycle( inhalation-exhalation) basically corresponds to four strokes of the heart. The minute cycle of blood distribution corresponds to sixteen respiratory cycles, four cycles of blood pressure changes and sixty-four heartbeats. Strict synchronism and multiplicity of two are obvious here. Synchronization of rhythms is destroyed throughout the day by many internal and external factors. And it is restored directly during sleep. In the event that in the process of sleep recovery does not come, the next day will bring the body even greater destruction. By analogy with biorhythms, musical periods must be inter-synchronous. This synchronization will simulate a healthy state of the body. A person feels great when all biorhythms are strictly synchronous. Music, also imitating such a state of synchronism of its periods, creates some illusion of such bliss. This explains the people's great desire for music. Biorhythmic structures of a person for the whole day can be violated, the person is tired, and thanks to music an illusion( or not only) of the correct synchronism of biorhythms is created.
Simultaneously with synchronous periods in music, there must be a changing element. Throughout the day, people carry out numerous non-periodic movements that directly occur against the background of synchronism and the frequency of biorhythms of the body. This is the normal state of a person. According to the analogy against the backdrop of a large number of musical periods there must be constantly changing sounds.
One of the prerequisites for the operation of these three principles is a certain state of memory of the hypothalamus. It has a small amount of its own local memory, where it directly stores the information it needs. The direct content of this memory largely determines the person's reaction to music. From what kind of information there is, it depends on whether the person will enjoy the sound of music. It is also worth noting the fact that through music you can give a person hypnosis.
Music and hypnosis
American medical scientist David Elkin has proved that a piercing sound of high volume contributes to protein folding, that is, a raw egg that was laid directly in front of the loudspeaker at one of the concerts, in three hours "cooked" soft-boiled. Such music as "heavy metal" helps to stop the growth of plants, and in some cases even contributed to their death. Fish, which as an experiment was subjected to rock processing, with simultaneous flashing of light, died.
People are also no exception. As a result of many studies, it was found that adolescents, after being in the disco for half an hour, completely lose control and fall into a condition that is close to hypnosis.
Back in the late 1950s, the first studies were conducted in the United States, which were to determine the influence of music on consumers. As a result, it was found that relaxing soft music favors the creation of a cozy atmosphere in the trading hall, thus prompting consumers not to rush and devote more time to choosing a purchase. As for the fast music itself, it in turn contributes to the reverse process, it is used at rush hour, in order to accelerate the movement of buyers. This principle is also used by many fast foods.
To date, in the West, there are many companies that specialize not just in selecting music for stores, but directly in the concept of music design for trade enterprises.
In February 1980, the first Moscow Medical Institute named after IM Sechenov developed a psycho-correction laboratory. Igor Smirnov headed it in turn. In 1993, he was invited to America, and then several meetings took place with representatives of the CIA, the FBI and other US intelligence services, in which he directly demonstrated to Americans a special software product through which people could inject other people's thoughts into the human brain. In the same year, a company was established in the United States, which, in turn, started developing developments in the field of influencing mental processes.
In Russia, the Institute of Psychoecology of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, which was run by Smirnov, will soon appear. In 2000, Smirnov said that his colleagues and himself created a psychotropic weapon "to fight human diseases."According to him, during the research, four "universal keys" were revealed to the human subconscious. It was psychomusic that became one of these keys - on the one hand it was ordinary music, mostly classical music, but it contained a special unrecognized sound signal.
In the course of listening to this signal, the internal resources of the human body become more active, the stabilization of its vegetative functions and the improvement of sleep. According to scientists, the number of people being taught is increasing every year, according to the data, this figure has already reached 85%, although even ten years ago it was less than 50%.In a state of deep hypnosis, one can inspire a person, up to a complete loss of memory.
Naturally, the methods of influencing the psyche took on arms criminal structures. The essence of "weapons" is that the rhythmic music is superimposed by hidden commands that are directly perceived by the subconscious as an indication to a particular action. As a result, people lose control over themselves and are inclined to execute any teams.
To date, a lot of divorced various sects, business clubs, which directly at their training use music with "stuffing."With music it is worth treating very carefully. Since the directions in music also have a great influence on the person and his subconscious mind, regardless of whether there are any coded directions. Thus, classical music promotes the growth of plants, favorably affects the fetus of a pregnant woman. Since it is the classical music that has been selected for many centuries, it is the best that exists in human culture. The same can be said about folk music.
As for some modern music trends, they negatively affect the human psyche. For example, a trend such as Dark Wave, a recent offshoot of the Gothic style, awakens in man primitive fears. There are such musical directions that cause aggression in a person.
Choose music that does not harm your subconscious. If you have children, young children, do not loudly include music, do not put them rock, rap, and the music, which is not beautiful, where it is only sung about drug addiction, murders, etc. It is better in this case to give preference to classical music, which will favorably reflect on you and your children.
Music is an integral part of our lives. Music accompanies a person since his birth. In our time it has become even more accessible, we can listen to it whenever we want, and where we want. Moreover, which music we listen to, we also choose ourselves, we can give preference to lyrical music, but we can listen to cheerful and fast, rhythmic music. According to many scientists, music has a huge impact on man and his body as a whole.
