The brain is a predictive machine-and music reveals how it works

There is not much evidence for how our brain perceives and decides the beginning and end of "something"-whether it is a sentence, a dialogue or a piece of music, but a research project of Aarhus University is the brain As a predictive machine, it provides new clues

This conclusion comes from a scientific research

The brain is one step ahead and meets expectations

This means that the brain is always one step ahead and matches expectations with what is about to happen

Niels Chris said: "We only know a little bit about how the brain finds boundaries over time—that is, when things start and end—and here, music provides a perfect definition.

Entropy of Johann Sebastian Bach

He expanded further and said that the international research team behind the study uses computer models to calculate entropy, it is an overall expression of obstacles or unpredictability in the system, the uncertainty of the estimated chorus of the famous German composer John Sebastian · Bach’s melody

"We clearly see that people tend to experience the ending of entropy tonal musical phrases - this is basic research that allows us to better understand how the human brain acquires new knowledge - not just music, but when it comes to language, movement, or Other things that happen over time," Niels Ko said

These findings are consistent with mainstream cognitive theories, which increasingly treat the human brain as a predictive machine
