 * THE STUDY OF HOW THE BRAIN REACTS TO LISTENING TO MUSIC **


 * ABSTRACT **

The purpose of this study was to see how the brain reacts to listening to music while completing a puzzle. The three parts of the brain are the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. Test subjects were tested on how fast they completed a puzzle while listening to different genres of music. It was determined that listening to pop music while completing a puzzle was completed the fastest and listening to classical music while completing a puzzle was completed the slowest. Listening to music doesn't have a big effect on the test time, but listening to music can still slow the test time down.


 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **

One way to improve this experiment would be to test more subjects. This would improve the experiment because the results would be more exact. In the future, it would be interesting to see if eating different types of food effects the test subject's time completing a puzzle.
