Resumen de Tap brainwaves to jazz up music skills
oel Lopata at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and his colleagues have found that people with more synchronized alpha waves are more creative and produce work of higher quality. The team asked 22 pianists to listen to, play back or improvise jazz melodies. As they did so, the researchers monitored electrical activity in the prefrontal cortex, a brain region that orchestrates our thoughts. When groups of neurons send signals at the same time, the result is a wave of electrical activity that EEG caps can pick up. Certain brainwave types have been linked with mental states--delta waves are detectable during deep sleep, for instance, whereas beta waves signify that someone is analyzing something critically
