Mozart effect digital radio
A few studies note that certain classical music raises IQ Other studies vary; mozart effect radio as an audience building effect actually accumulates those songs that actually make people cleverer | |
A few studies note that certain classical music raises IQ ( Nature) Other studies vary; Mozart effect radio has an advertising gimmick they continually accumulate those songs measured to actually make people cleverer The procedure is pretty simple just have a group of 40 or so students take a paper
test like an SAT practice with then if there is P<.05 difference the song makes the playlist Just a days research could build a library of many songs
I'm not saying it works I'm saying its appealing enough to screen a whole bunch of songs to verify that it works Its kind of like a "private sector artifact expedition" so thrilling sounding it could get backers
I like the idea that the musical forms plus BPM could be accurately described then they could remix plus pitch shift popular songs to cause the cleverness effect
Not that different from the digital radio music they play now, thousands of colleges play this at study lounges
DHA is an advertising success with a variety of food companies; I think a digital radio channel that actually raises ability with productivity would have an advantage
the thing is just mass testing a bunch of songs
As an audience building effect this actually accumulates those songs that actually make people cleverer

Did you listen to any before posting this? |
|

Waka Laka Jenny ROM remix
Ive tried the Mozart sonata 2 pianos "shugs" |

Does music alter intelligence, or does the act of actively listening to music set up thought-patterns that resonate well with the performance of IQ tests? |
|
|
Your link suggests that the effect only lasts 10-15 minutes, which would go on to suggest that the results might be more to do with the active, meditative concentration of the listener; rather than the music having the ability to beam IQ points directly into people's minds. |

If it works those car companies that promote digital radio could then promote area specific speakers: remixed popular Mozart effect digital radio the kids like listenening to |

This would probably work as a marketing gimmick. The type of listener who would be suckered in is also likely to be easily mislead by the bad science of the supporting IQ test you've described. Measuring changes in IQ in 5 or even 10 minute increments all day long won't work. The subjects would get tired, their boredom influencing the test results. However, if you keep the test up until you do record a significant result (and then stop the test), you'll get your supporting statistics (however bogus they may be). |

I favor truthful science
I think it is an effect finding then creating opportunity |

[IT], I see you have not yet been introduced to dub classical. It is classical set to a catchy drum and bass rhythm for the modern listener. |

I quite like this, as a potential website. I also like the idea
of selecting and "breeding" music that has this (or other)
psychological effects. |
|
|
I'm pretty sure that the Mozart effect is either wrong or
trivial, but the idea is interesting. |
|
|
Actually, after a moment's music-free thought, two
thoughts occur: |
|
|
1) There is no way I can think with background music. My
lab is a music-free zone. |
|
|
2) I would expect a huge effect on intelligence (compared
to any so-called "Mozart effect) to come from music that
made the listener happy and/or keyed up. Happiness has
an enormous impact on all aspects of cognitive function.
So maybe Mozart just cheers up a lot of people. |

I want music that everybody *but* me can hear. Horrible
music, that no one can stand to listen to. I would play it in
my office, and it would have an enormous beneficial impact
on all aspects of my cognitive function by GETTING PEOPLE
TO GO AWAY AND STOP DISTRACTING ME ARRRGH. |
