The Musician's Brain

[clauclau33]

This is informative...

[SourcesAreEverything]

What is the source of this data?

[MrTripDawg]

love it... the non-musicians are all "I don't get it, this is lame" and the Musicians just say... "duuuh... so?!"

The image shows how brain activity is different in certain areas for a musician while the grey just means that there is no difference between musician and non-musician brain activity in those areas. I would guess that red means highest activity down to blue which is lowest in a similiar way to how we show terrain on a map. I think that all spots show an increase in activity regardless of colour though. Basically, we use normally neglected parts of our brain when we create/play music.

[Chuichupachichi]

Umm, basically, we on YouTube don't know how to read cryptographically enciphered & hieroglyphically color coded, neurologically musical activities.

That was a musically accompanied waste of 18 seconds!

this is not information and besides anyone can be a musician. it's not a preset condition. if you play an instrument two times and intend to play it more than you are a musician but their has not been a physiological change. this is dumb.

[iMellophone]

@HoboSex It is not the playing of an instrument that makes someone a musician, it is so much more. and not anyone can be a musician, because of the level of difficulty in the general concept. 1. learning and mastering an instrument requires years of constant practice. 2. Reading music is a whole new world, because although it might look the same, most instruments have their own language of music on paper. being a musician is all that, and then applying emotion to a piece of music.

[HoboSex]

@iMellophone Those are great points but I feel emotion to some degree from anyone's musical output and that the difference between the Beethovens and the clankin' bullshit seems arbitrary and therefor indefinable.

[drumer93]

@HoboSex interesting name... but anyway.

I don't really understand this video either.

But saying that just playing an instrument a few times makes someone a musician is like saying someone that throws paint mindlessly on a piece of paper is an artist.

Musicians aren't simply people that play an instrument, Its a way of thought behind music too.

Musicians hear the world different, the way artists see the world different.

[Stormdude100]

@HoboSex Um no, you have it all wrong. Being a successful takes a psychological difference. For example drumer93 has a great example explaining what i'm trying to explain, I have a lot of friends who are artist but I cannot produce a work of art. I don't shade as well as they do this is because of a psychological difference. iMellophone is right but it takes a LIFETIME to master an instrument.

[tisawtahw2]

The difference occurs because musicians think of music in longer and in different ways that are not usually expressed in non-musicians. The brain simply adapts.

[buffypython]

is this a musician's brain or a non-musician's brain? you have to show both so we can see the difference. i don't think most people know what a non-musicians and musicians brains look like.

[LordOfTheGnus]

So, is this technique strong enough that you could examine a brain and determine whether or not it belongs to a musician?

[baboonlwka]

yes..a neurologist can understand if a brain belongs to a musician or not because they've different morphology, for ex the planum temporale.

[samblero]

explanation please...

[MilleandMolly]

hey, where's the music from?

[seroyer2]

it's Moby it's called 18 off of the record 18

[VertNinja]

"Rendered cortical surface shows brain structures which differ between musicians and non-musicians"

[Creationismsucks]

This looks way cool. Could you add some explanation please?

[monsterjazzlicks]

Er ok, someone please explain ??

[supersmashermeta]

@monsterjazzlicks ok monterjazzlicks, this picture describes nothing. The part on a musicians brain called the mototsencory( i think not sure) is more advanced ( this is even more advanced before the advanced age of 10, (i for example with recorders and piccolos.). When a person who does not do music listens to music their moithion sensors do not light up when not moving, on a muscian's though they indicate movement when no pshysical activity is active.
