1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast am on 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio, Neil, what part of the brain or what 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: determines one's personality? We have nice people, bad people, funny people, 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: clever people. Where does that originate from? Well, it originates 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: in a lot of different parts of the brain. Of course. 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: One of the things that comes to mind to me 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: is the pre medial prefrontal cortex, which is, you know, 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: your brain is divided into two halves, a left hemisphere 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: and a right hemisphere, and there's a split right down 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: the middle. Now on the inside front of that split 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: split is an area called the pre medial frontal loaves. 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: And what they do find is there are differences in 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: personality types that's reflected in whether or not that area 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: is more active or not. When they look at prison populations, 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: specifically violent criminals, they'll find that people that have no empathy, 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: that can't put themselves in the shoes of others, that 17 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: have no regret for violent actions or crimes, they have 18 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: a damage to that particular area of the brain, or 19 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: that area of the brain may be very inactive, wherein 20 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: other people that will be normal. The frontal lobes, that 21 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: whole front third of the brain. You know, if you 22 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: if you take your hand and grasp your forehead, everything 23 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: under your fingers is called the frontal lobes, and that's 24 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: what scientists say controls the executive actions. It's that part 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: of your brain that allows you to think about the 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: consequences of your actions and how you relate to people. Now, 27 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: teenagers are still developing their frontal lobes, and your frontal 28 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: lobes aren't really fully developed until you get to about 29 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: age twenty one or twenty you mean biologically, biologically right, right, 30 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: You're still developing that part of your brain. So if 31 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: you look at the kind of behavior the teenagers might exhibit, 32 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: which might be carelessness or not thinking about the consequences 33 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: of their actions, part of that has to do not 34 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: only with their upbringing, but because that part of their 35 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: brain is not yet fully developed yet. So when you 36 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: talk about how you relate to other people, if you're 37 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: a person is nice to other people, is considerate, a 38 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with whether or not 39 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: this frontal lobes area of your brain is active or not. Now, 40 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: how do you activate it? Well, that's what my work 41 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: has been about for the past three years. Teaching people 42 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: how to get more increased frontal lobes activity to happen. 43 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: And that's where the phrase tickle your amigdala or clicking 44 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: your amygdala comes from. And there's there's almost endless ways 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: to tickle your a magdala and cause increased activity in 46 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: the frontal lobes. You can use, you know a very 47 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: quick summary. You can do meditation, you can use music, 48 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: you can use art. Uh you know, physical exercise will 49 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: often allow the frontal lobes to become more active. You 50 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: can actually use your imagination, something as simple as imagining 51 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: that you've got a feather inside your skull and you tickle, 52 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: tickle tickle those little buttons on either side of your 53 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: head and you just laugh. Now, that's very interesting because 54 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: humor is computed in the frontal lobes, so your sense 55 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: of humor. To activate your sense of humor and to 56 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: enjoy comedy, that will also activate your frontal lobes. So 57 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: there's there's a whole long list of things that you 58 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: can do to get your front lobes active and have 59 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: increased activity in that part of your brain. The main 60 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: thing to remember is that your amygdala is an emotional 61 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: feedback system. Nature is very smart. It wants you to 62 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: use the most advanced parts of your brain because it's 63 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: better for your survival. If you use more of your 64 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: brain power, if you use your brain more efficiently, then 65 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: your chances of survival are greatly enhanced. So the way 66 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: that mother Nature encourages you to use more brain is 67 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: by giving you positive emotional feedback. That's one way to 68 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: tell if you're using your frontal lobes or not long 69 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: term pleasure and positive emotion. Contrary to that, if you 70 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: feel boredom or negative emotions, it means that your frontal 71 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: lobes are not as active as they should be and 72 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: that you're stuck into old reptilian brain ways of thinking. 73 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a little bit about laughter. When 74 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: you look at people who laugh, Neil, that's funnier than 75 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: whatever caused them to laugh. When you think of the 76 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: way the human body reacts to certain things, what is 77 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: laughter and where is that generated? Well, the brain process 78 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: is humor in several areas. But the frontlobes are initially 79 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: engaged because they anticipate a joke's resolution, only to be 80 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: fooled by a surprising punchline. So when that happens, the 81 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: front alobes jump into action, and if they find something 82 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: potentially funny, they'll let the effects of that humor proceed 83 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: and they send out an electrical wave through the cerebral cortex, 84 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: which is the outside layer of the brain, and from 85 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: there the rest of the body responds with the surprise, delight, 86 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: and laughter. And the results can be anything from a 87 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: mild chuckle to an all out belly laugh. And uh, 88 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: you know that that chuckle does more for you than 89 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: you might realize. One study at Harvard Medical School show 90 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: that laughter and humor, among other things, are powerful in 91 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: combating mood disorders. Laughter contrigguer the brains emotional reward center, 92 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: like the amygdala. It can deliver doses of feel good 93 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: chemicals such as dopamine and mood lifting serotonins, and it 94 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: can increase the release of endorphins, the pain relieving chemicals 95 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: our brain releases in response to such things as exercise, food, 96 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: and sex. Now, one thing that comes to mind that 97 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: humor and its pain reduction ability. One thing that comes 98 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: to mind is followed by the name of Norman Cousins, 99 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: who wrote the ground on the groundbreaking book Anatomy of 100 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: an illness. Do you recall that I remember the book, 101 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't remember the guy's name. Well, Norman Cousins had 102 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: a intractable UH disease, that an incurable illness, and he 103 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: had something like a one in five hundred chance of recovering, 104 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: and he developed his own recovery program by taking massive 105 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: doses of vitamin C. But he also spent his time 106 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: watching candid Camera and watching Laurel and Hearty films, funny stuff, 107 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: funny stuff. He made himself laugh, and as it turned out, 108 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: he recovered from this incurable disease and he lived to 109 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: the ripe old age of seventy five. So humor plays 110 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: a very important part in in how we deal with 111 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: had a story last night, Neil where optimistic people live 112 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: fifteen percent longer than people who aren't. Oh yes, I've 113 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: heard exactly that same thing. Exactly that same thing. Um. 114 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: Robert Anton Wilson is a is a famous author of 115 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: science fiction, and he says he's an eternal optimist and 116 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: that the reason, he says, is that optimists are the 117 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: ones that get things done and testimists are not are 118 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: the ones who don't get things done. So he said, 119 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: I might as will be optimistic because I've got nothing 120 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: to lose and everything to gain. Now, what is frontal 121 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: lobe epilepsy and how does that affect any of this? Well, fronto, 122 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about. Frontal lobe epilepsy. Epilepsy, of course, 123 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: is a discharge of energy in the brain which upsets 124 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: the normal functioning of the brain, and there have been 125 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: many ways to deal with this over over the years. 126 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: One way that's been somewhat successful is what's called a 127 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: radical hemisphere ectomy, and if this has done early enough 128 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: in life, it is a cure for that. And what 129 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: they do is they remove fully one half of the 130 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: cortex of the of the which is the outer layer 131 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: of the brain, and by doing that it eliminates this 132 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: epileptic communication between the hemispheres which are not synchronized. Now 133 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: you have said that pets play a part in people's 134 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: brain function as well. Oh, yes, absolutely. One thing has 135 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: been consistent when they look at how pets relate to people. 136 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: By the way, I've got a little model of my 137 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: Westy dogs sitting on my table right now that looks 138 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: at me whenever I computer. When humans and pet dogs interact, 139 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: this causes an increase in what's called oxytocin, which is 140 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: the left hormone, and it's also triggered by hugging, sex 141 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: and you know, feeding babies, lactation. Oxytocin helps the brain 142 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: modulate social concepts such as empathy, trust, and it lets 143 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: you know when you should take comfort in others. So 144 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: when people interact with their pets, when TETs are used 145 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: in tet therapy, it causes an increase of this oxy tocin. 146 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the figures here. Dog It says dog 147 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: owners experience an average of oxytocin boost of six percent 148 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: after just merely scratching and petting their canine companions. And 149 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: it also caused a decrease in the levels of cortisol. 150 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: And if you know what cortisol is, that's a chemical 151 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: that helps that's released when you're under a lot of stress. 152 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: So if you have a lot of cortisol, that's not 153 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: good for you. And pet therapy and petting your dogs 154 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: that reduces the amount of cortisol that's in your system. 155 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: And as it turns out, they've measured the oxytocin level 156 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: of dogs and they in turn also show an increase 157 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: of oxytocin when they're being pet and scratched by by 158 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: their owners as well. There's a there's a lot of 159 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: research that shows that pet therapy has a lot of 160 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: impact on relieving depression. Well, you know, airlines are allowing 161 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: dogs on our special hand handling dogs for people who 162 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: are uptight about flying. Oh, I haven't heard that. That's 163 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: very interesting. So they're coming to Grips with the research. Yep, yep, 164 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: they really are. What about music? How does music play 165 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: a role with the brain? Well, that that's kind of 166 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: my specialty professional musician, my entire life. And what's your specialty? Well, 167 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: excuse me, what's your special Well? I play piano, I 168 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: play guitar, I play woodwind instruments as well. You do 169 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: it all. I've been a jack of all trade comes 170 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: to music, but mostly guitar and piano have been my 171 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: uh my, my areas of greatest concentration. Uh. The newest 172 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: album that I've released, called The Book of Magic, has 173 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: me playing guitar on that, So I guess I would 174 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: say I'm as much a guitar player as anything. But 175 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: music does have a huge role to play, I think 176 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: in people's productivity and everything else. Oh, absolutely mute. They 177 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: found the music is one of the activities that actually 178 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: engages all parts of the brain. When you look at 179 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: certain activities, uh, you know, like physical exercise or reading, 180 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: or you know, other kinds of things, they don't really 181 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: engage the full capacity of the brain that that that 182 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: music does. And educators have been putting this to really 183 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: good use lately. There's one project that I just heard 184 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: about that it's called the Harmony Project and it's it's 185 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: involved in providing musical lessons and instrument learning, specifically two 186 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: underprivileged kids who normally wouldn't have the resources to take 187 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: up the instrument. And it's been found that a profound 188 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: effect on kids who are otherwise drawn into things like 189 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: delinquency and gangs. And research has repeatedly showed the kids 190 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: who engage in music think more creatively and critically, and 191 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: they perform vetter in school, and they're more likely to 192 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: attend college. So it's just it's not just classical music either. 193 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: It's different kinds of music have different kinds of effect 194 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: on the brain as well. There were some expert marketers 195 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: neil have realized that certain things trigger certain things in 196 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: the brain. So some restaurants, for example, you'll see red 197 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: tablecloths and things like that, it makes you eat more. 198 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: And in some retail stores, don't they play certain kinds 199 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: of music to get you to shop more. I don't 200 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: know the specific specifics of that, but I would imagine 201 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: that's that's true. You know, certain certain types of music 202 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: will be exciting to you. Other types of music would 203 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: be more relaxing. I would expect, and what I've seen 204 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: in stories, if you go into a store that's selling 205 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, like a store like The Gap that's more 206 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: youth oriented, they're going to play music that they would 207 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: expect that the shoppers would relate to and it would 208 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: make them happy as well. If you were to go 209 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: into a You're not going to hear Frank Sinatra at 210 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: the Gap, right, Not at the Gap. You might hear 211 00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra in a place that's selling support hos or 212 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: something or something. I think it's probably marketed very specifically 213 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: at the audience and who's shopping for what. Well, does 214 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: different kinds of music make you react to different things? Oh, 215 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: I'd say absolutely, I mean, you know, I mean, there's 216 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: one common question is you know what kind of music 217 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: is best to listen to? And each type of music 218 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: is going to have a different kind of effect, and 219 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: I think probably your common sense would guide you. If 220 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: you want to be energized, for example, you're going to 221 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: listen to fast paced music, probably music that's louder. If 222 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: you want to be relaxed, it wouldn't make any sense 223 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: to listen to led Zeppelin, right or rap music. But 224 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: if you want to be energized, that would be exactly 225 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: the kind of music that you would want to listen to. 226 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: So I think you can use your own common sense 227 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: and intuition as to you know the effect of a 228 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: specific type of music and how that's going to affect 229 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: your performance and your brain.
