By stimulating neural pathways, a team of Quebec researchers was able in a recent experiment to influence how much a group a twenty-somethings enjoyed their favourite music. "We don't have an interest to use this method to help sell music," Dagher, a co-author of the study, told CBC's All in a Weekend. Earlier this fall, another study looked at how musician Sting's brain looks when he imagines music. The researchers found they were able to make the test subjects feel more positive about the music by stimulating their fronto-striatal pathways. The music used in the experiment was selected from genres the participants already professed to liking.
