'People talk about us a lot, but they're not listening. It's only five minutes long and it's really, really worth checking out. We heard from Bobby Shabangu and Rhema Russell. It's just 5 minutes long and it's from CommunicationFIRST. (starting at 2:25, video not captioned) ("It's worth looking up the whole film.BBC Radio (Mark Kermode & Simon Mayo), February 26, 2021.Many of the moves in that fighting style are choreographed, taught and practiced, along with music, making the participants more adept-and giving them the pleasure from the music as well as from performing the movement.Īdding music in this context may cross the thin line between a killing machine and a dancing machine.
Take the Brazilian folk art, Capoeira-which could be a dance masquerading as a martial art or vice versa. Music, in fact, can actually refine your movement skills by improving your timing, coordination and rhythm. So, if that evidence indicates that humans like watching others in motion (and being in motion themselves), adding music to the mix may be a pinnacle of reward. This prediction error may be rewarding in some way.
That may lead to the pleasure we get from seeing someone execute a movement with expert skill-that is seeing an action that your own motor system cannot predict via an internal simulation. So, if you're watching someone dance, your brain's movement areas activate unconsciously, you are planning and predicting how a dancer would move based on what you would do. Music and dance may just be particularly pleasurable activators of these sensory and motor circuits. Increasing evidence suggests that sensory experiences are also motor experiences. This kind of finding has led to a great deal of speculation with respect to mirror neurons-cells found in the cortex, the brain's central processing unit, that activate when a person is performing an action as well as watching someone else do it.
#LISTEN AND MOVE PROFESSIONAL#
For example, the motor regions of professional dancers' brains show more activation when they watch other dancers compared with people who don't dance. Third, mounting evidence suggests that we are sensitive and attuned to the movements of others' bodies, because similar brain regions are activated when certain movements are both made and observed. Second, some reward-related areas in the brain are connected with motor areas. In addition, music activates the cerebellum, at the base of the brain, which is involved in the coordination and timing of movement.įirst, people speculate that music was created through rhythmic movement-think: tapping your foot. In particular, the amount of activation in these areas matches up with how much we enjoy the tunes. Music is known to stimulate pleasure and reward areas like the orbitofrontal cortex, located directly behind one's eyes, as well as a midbrain region called the ventral striatum. Maybe synchronizing music, which many studies have shown is pleasing to both the ear and brain, and movement-in essence, dance-may constitute a pleasure double play. Scientists aren't sure why we like movement so much, but there's certainly a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest we get a pretty big kick out of it. What about the enjoyment spectators get when watching sports or actually riding on a roller coaster or in a fast car? Consider the thrill some get from watching choreographed fight or car chase scenes in action movies. Many things stimulate our brains' reward centers, among them, coordinated movements.
