Brain machine ‘improves musicianship’
Scientists have created a technique that dramatically improves the performance of musicians. The system – called neurofeedback – trains musicians to clear their minds and produce more creative brain waves.Research, to be published in the journal Neuroreport, indicates the technique helps musicians to improve by an average of 17% – the equivalent of one grade or class of honours.
Some improved by as much as 50%.
Students were assessed on two pieces of music before and after neurofeedback sessions.
Neurofeedback monitors brain activity through sensors attached to the scalp which filter out the brainwaves.
