3045 - Musical brain


Well sort of a musical brain. This study only separates people into two groups, empathizers and systemizers. From the study...

The researchers then looked more in-depth and found those who scored high on empathy preferred music that had low energy (gentle, reflective, sensual, and warm elements), or negative emotions (sad and depressing characteristics), or emotional depth (poetic, relaxing, and thoughtful features). Those who scored high on systemizing preferred music that had high energy (strong, tense, and thrilling elements), or positive emotions (animated and fun features), and which also featured a high degree of cerebral depth and complexity.

Cerebral depth and complexity, THAT'S ME! Fits me to a 'T'. 

Well there is a little more to the ARTICLE. So if you want to read it, click away. It's not that long.

And then I found this cool chart. Apparently empathizers and systemizers have been studied for awhile.

Yep, I'm the empathizer. That sounds about right all the way around.

I'm an empathizer, for sure. Would those musical tastes run from Bach to Tcsiakovsky?

Not sure I'm really surprised at the emphasizers connected to the female survey. Angel posts a good question. Have a fab weekend.
