Your brain on music | Alan Harvey | TEDxPerth

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2018
- Neuroscientist and musician Alan Harvey takes us on an interactive journey showing live on stage what music does to our brain waves, and explains how music is more than just an entertainment. You've never seen music like this before…
Alan is joined by fellow neuroscientist Andrew Price and musicians from Perth Symphony Orchestra led by Bourby Webster. Alan’s main experimental neuroscience interests are in trauma, transplantation, gene therapy and regeneration, his research primarily focused on understanding the growth of circuits in the visual system and spinal cord, and how best to protect and repair these circuits after injury.
He is passionate about music, and over the past half-century he has performed in choirs, as a solo artist and in various folk and rock bands. In 2017, his book "Music, Evolution, and the Harmony of Souls" was published by Oxford University Press, bringing together his musical and neuroscientific interests, exploring music throughout human evolution and emphasising its importance for human welfare. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
We absolutely LOVED being involved in this project. We, at Perth Symphony know just how much of an effect music has on our mind and mood, let alone our mental wellbeing! It was so great to be able to share this with everyone at TedX Perth and now in the world of TH-cam!
Thank you very much for contributing to the TED Talk, I appreciate your work.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I used to feel like I couldn’t do anything, I have autism and can struggle to “get a grip” on things sometimes but when I pick up my takamine and start playing it’s like riding a bike
I wish to learn more about the effects of musical crescendos on lifting depression.
Thank you very much for your work! Can I ask what was the second piece of music used in the EEG demonstration (quite dissonant and supposedly unpleasant)? I really loved it...
I'm a geriatric nurse.. I play music for my patients.. It amazes me how music changes their mood and brings up memories.. They may not remember every lyric but they can hum the tune..Music is amazing!!
You’re an angel. That’s so important and so needed 💙💙💙
You r doing a great job
Well done
I want to be able to do this! But I’m not a nurse or a music therapist. I just want to volunteer to play the music of their youth
You look like EDP445
This talk actually made me cry. Music is everything to me.
Music is the noblest endeavor a human could do. it is both things at the same time, a treasure and a gift.
Protect it and never forget it. It is humanity.
This happened to me too
Brazilian Artur da Távola said: "Music is an inner life and those who have an inner life never suffer from loneliness". Today May 28, 2021
God bless you.
Me too
there's a secret to music as meditation that we modern Westernized people don't understand. haha. Music goes way deeper than we think.
I’m working with Alzheimer’s Patients as a musician/therapist and I vouch for the truth of this video. Music has the power to awaken so much good emotionally and cognitively . It should be enlisted as adjunct therapy in all medical treatments.
The power of music is amazing! Have you seen the doco 'Alive Inside'?
Ur blessed to be part of something so magical and meaningful 🙏🏻
Thank you for what you do. I am also sure that healers have an effect on the health of people. Wondering if their healing vibrations are at 40 hertz? I guess it can be measured?
@@ferrygirl100 Yes.
Thanks for the positive feedback for this talk. I actually gave the talk on November 11th - Remembrance Day - hence the opening verse of No Man's Land.
how do I cite your video in MLA format. I am researching a paper on your wonderful works of life.
I teach music to children with learning disabilities, and I have seen first-hand and in real time the effects. Alan is absolutely right.
Keep your brain healthy and young with music! "Whether you need to relax, increase your energy, improve your thinking, or just get motivated for the day, music can provide extra support when you need it the most,", according to Harvard Health.
Wonderful! I'm a violin teacher and can relate to so much of what was shared. Thank you! As Bob Marley sang "one good thing about music when it hits, you feel no pain".
what was the calming piece name in the middle of the video?

Excellent. I believe music is very important to society
The earliest musical instruments that we know of all of us have today.
Our bodies
the best ever lecture i have seen on ted
Music is not an art, it's a science.
We are only re-discovering this.
Not an Art ? Keep your opinion to yourself
It is both Art and Science combined
Makes sense. All the musicians I know are science minded but also creative
This is beautiful. With all the information he provides, with all the studies and proof of what music is capable of, I wonder why we as a society do not use music for more?
We use it for profit
This lecture inspired me a lot. Sometimes music can have the effect that language can't do.
Music is my first love and it will be my love, music of the future and music of the past..
One of the most fascinating lectures on TEDx! Thank you so much for delivering such a talk and choosing this topic!
Love this scientistic explanation of music.
It’s so sad that music learning is not sort of every early childhood curriculum and primary learning
The US has mandatory music and recorder class. And then they let the students choose whether to go on to band or orchestra or not afterwards.
I want to bring music to nursing homes by letting them put headphones on and then playing the music of their era. But I’m not a music therapist and I don’t even know how to begin to do what I want to do
I feel that we get our intense love/feeling for music because it’s only been recently that its so readily available, in fact if you were living 200 years ago you would only ever hear your favourite song an average of 3 times in your whole life
We are still new to music
We humans had our own player, recorder or what ever-our own voice! People sung much, much more before radio and the latter developed devices turned many of us into listener rather than singer.
Fabulous, entertaining and informative presentation, thank you Alan. May we see the inclusion and enjoyment of music reinstated in education and communities, to rebuild social connection and harmony around the world.
That's the power of music. Loved the presentation. 💖🥰💝
amazing....I had to learn music theory and mute scary, and sad scenes in movies to understand that the music is the cause of feelings in cartoons, and movies.
And it's also the cause of countless of media manipulations... you're onto something ;)
Ive never enjoyed something more than this, I watched it two times, first to hear and observe second time to take notes, and theres definitely a third and fourth time 🙏🏻
CAN U SHARE UR NOTES SO I CAN TURN THEM INTO MY TEACHER
@@jimgarner3353 You're too far gone.
This is so awesome! The right sounds HEAL and BALANCE our brains and bodies. Really grateful we can now create customized sound therapy from scanning over 10,000 frequencies in the voice from just a 10-second recording! Is anyone else here using the Inner Voice program on the AO Scan! It's EPIC. Unlimited in how many times a day you use it, can be loaded on your phone or computer, and you can help an unlimited amount of people too! It was a game changer for me. 😀
I'm watching this because I'm planning to purchase Spotify premium to get approval that it'll be worth it.
Brilliant Lecture, Entertaining, Informative and Insightful. Perfect Example of a Good Lecture.
My favorite TED TALK ever
As a musician and music therapist, I love to see MASTER ALAN to show the REAL and not so considered POWER OF MUSIC applied on MENTAL HEALTH.
Pay attention to what you listen, it may be guiding your life (FOR GOOD OR BAD)
Thanks for demonstrating on the spot. 🤩✨
I think calming music should be used in the emergency rooms for patients who are sitting in pain and waiting for hours to see the doctor.
Great talk! Listening to classical piano music has helped me deal with the emotional trauma I experienced.
What a great talk! Congratulations.
this is one of my favourite ted talks ever
The best Tedx Talks presentation
NICE TALK. I WAS REALLY CURIOUS ON WHY MUSIC HAVE SUCH AN IMPACT IN MY LIFE, THANK YOU
I love music and this just confirms what many of us already know. But I married someone who has no interest in music. I wish we could connect through music, but it's just not going to happen. Honestly asking for advice. I'm not trying to change her, I just wish she knew the power of music. Thanks.
I love music, anytype, anygenre, anytime .
thank you for an interesting and educational talk. I have been blessed for 38 years with a son who has music in him since a very young age and I can tell you that his music gives me emotions of happiness each and every day. I often weep at the beauty of his music which is an expression of his beautiful soul.
I’m 24 picked up a Takamine 2 years ago and have loved it ever since,
Well presented Sir thank you 👏👏👏
What a wonderful presentation.
Simply Brilliant
This is true! Music can affects our emotions and other aspects in life
I met. Eric once and what a joy
Best talk I have heard in a while; true gentleman!
one of the best Ted talks i've ever heard!!
Great explanation about music! 🎵
Thank you so much for that kind of content.
BECAUSE OF MY TEACHER I AM HERE🖤🖤
so this is why when I quit listening to music for days I feel my mental clarity go through the roof and I feel smarter
Quit listening and start making!
Great talk Alan!
I wish I could know what views or opinion Mr. Alan Harvey has towards the musical standard tuning of 432.00 being changed to 440.00...I know what facts are, I'm looking for testimony. Thanks for the lesson TEDx Talks.
This is beautiful. Thank you!
You are soooo right! Keep speaking.
Music's my entire my burning desire!!! my DMT, ayahuasca symphony number 3 delta alpha Beethoven Mozart were right !!!!
What an awesome lecture! I love the presentation!
Great talk Alan. See you at the Contra Dance for some tunes. 🎶🎻
Thanks for making me cry jeez. Well all irish music…
I absolutely loved this
Deep AF.. !Added to favourites for future reference!!!
Love it!!! 🎶
Excellent presentation and examples!
Thank you
Oh gosh, I am from Perth, never knew about this. Sorry I missed it. Sadly my cats both react the same when I sing....almost the same reaction to the the badly played piece of music "Once a Jolly Swagman" when it was played. They cry and leave the room.
PS - This a question not a challenge...thank you again!
Amazing
Love it!!
Amazing. Thank you.
Any time a movie score goes to a minor key, you know something bad is about to happen.
I believe humans are hard-wired for music, even is some cannot sing nor play an instrument. We can tell when a sound is consonant or dissonant. Heck, the I-#5 interval was called the "Devil's Note" and was not sung for centuries!!
Then, the 20th century dawned, and dissonance was cool: bebop, free jazz, prog rock, composers like Prokofiev and Stravinsky, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, the list is endless!
Why isn't there more music in hospitals?
:((
This was amazing! It’s like I knew all of that but I didn’t really understand why. I still don’t understand why I know the lyrics to so many songs.
Excellent!! Thanks!
I heard about this talk from Pastor David Asscherick..Fascinating!!
Just absolutely awesome!
If dreams came true, mine would be to attend a class of yours or be part of your research team
Very inspiring!
Very good thank you ted.
The sound of angels is most pleasing. Just don't get lost in the siren's song.
Interesting talk, music feeds the soul! What I am interested in knowing is does the electrodes also pick up the sound of the music played directly or it only reads the internal vibrations of the brain? Thank you, appreciate your knowledge and information Mr Harvey!
Excellent. Speech. Thank. You. Very much. Sir
*You Have A Pretty Cool Name*
Wonderful presentation. :)
We also benefit from quietness, and public places that have far less piped in formula music.
Brilliant video!
This is absolutely awesome. Just what I was looking for. Thank you
I love this.
Amazing video, but I demand an explanation for why they are using Windows XP during the EEG.... IN 2018!!!
Brilliant!
Justo las vocales que buscaba
great presentation
I have all of the list re memory etc except mproved mathematic skills. . Long lasting effects seemsgreat !
Fascinating talk about something I've been researching as a personal interest. Relatively recent life events led to the realization my experience of music is different from those around me. I've been astonished to learn music either reinforces or creates emotional experiences for most people. I've never experienced that and still find this difficult to comprehend.
8:47 off-topic but I loved how they still were using Windows XP.
@7:11 man absolutely felt the pressure 😅
Ich glaube an die Heilkraft von Musik, Lachen, Weinen 😢, 🙏
No waaaay! This was hosted in Perth? PSO played in this? Waaaaat!?
some are into the music, others listens to the words. I hate to talk while music is playing.
Was I the only one who sorta enjoyed the dischordant notes? Felt nice as harmony. XD
Hope our parents could understand it........ there is something more than medical and engineering....
I love this song
whos here to do a ted talk work sheet for e-learning...?
