Music as a tool for thinking
Index note music narrows/aligns thought pathways
Music is a tool for thinking. A certain kind of music elicits a certain response in the brain which can allow thinking of certain kind of thoughts aligned to the theme of the music. A thought in the brain is the neural activity, and music through ears can lead to affect those pathways, which are continuously formed and destroyed by strengthening and weakening of synaptic connections. Music can stir the emotions of the person, or so called emotions of motion can be felt by association of instrument and music and feelings of movement and sound.
A certain kind of music can narrow thinking process as if holding the listener to a preoccupied thoughts, without any unpredictable noise or external uninterested information sources.
