Music actively reshapes the brain in real time, study finds

 You probably want this, so let's see how long your doctor has been incompetent in not providing music protocols.

You can call your hospital president and ask when competent personnel will be hired. Your doctor writing prescriptions of E.T. (Evaluate and Treat) is the first sign of pure incompetence!

Music actively reshapes the brain in real time, study finds

Listening to rhythm isn’t passive—your brain reshapes in real time, building new networks and syncing waves to match the beat.

When a sound repeats steadily—like a drumbeat, a bell, or even a clock ticking—it doesn’t just echo in your ears. Deep inside your brain, something far more interesting happens. Instead of just hearing, your brain reshapes itself in real time. That’s the striking finding of a new study by researchers at Aarhus University and the University of Oxford.
