Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin!
大家好!欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想!
Triangle Bob is learning how to play the guitar! He's able to look at a sheet of music, have his brain translate that into instructions for his fingers, hands, and arms to create this beautiful song!
三角形鲍勃正在学习弹吉他!他可以看着一张乐谱,让大脑把它转换成指令,让手指、手和手臂来创作这首美妙的歌曲!
OK! Or not so beautiful, maybe put it down for a second. He's learning. But still, what does playing an instrument do to your brain?
好的!或者不那么美妙,也许可以放一会儿。他还在学习。但是,弹奏乐器对你的大脑有什么影响呢?
Could these skills be helpful in other areas of life too?
这些技能对生活的其他方面也有帮助吗?
Since Triangle Bob just started learning how to play the guitar, the effects on his adult brain aren't as strong as they would be if he started playing when he was still a young quadrilateral.
因为三角形鲍勃刚开始学习弹吉他,他成年后的大脑受到的影响,没有他从小弹吉他的影响大。
But either way, picking up an instrument at any age can provide some huge benefits for your intelligence, your physical well-being, and your brain.
但不管怎样,在任何年龄都能拿起乐器,对你的智力、身体健康和大脑都有巨大的益处。
Playing an instrument requires your auditory, motor, sensory, and visual systems to all work together.
弹奏乐器需要你的听觉、运动、感觉和视觉系统共同工作。
This inner system cooperation has some incredible outcomes that can affect so many areas of your life.
这种内在系统的合作有一些不可思议的结果,可以影响你生活的许多方面。
Do not start playing Wonderwall, that is copyrighted, thank you.
不要弹Wonderwall,那是有版权的,谢谢。
Different intensities of training produce different outcomes, but even the most minimal practice can make a difference.
不同强度的训练会产生不同的结果,但即使是最微小的练习也会起作用。
Starting to play an instrument just one hour a week for a few months can cause growth and increased activity in the parts of your brain responsible for memory, hearing, and motor function.
在几个月的时间里,每周只弹奏一个小时乐器会导致大脑中负责记忆、听力和运动功能的部分的生长和活动增加。
Researchers have found that this type of practice could even increase your IQ by 7 points or more!
研究人员发现,这种练习甚至可以让你的智商提高7分以上!
It's also known that people who play musical instruments are better at other practical things too.
众所周知,弹奏乐器的人在其他方面也很擅长。
For example, processing emotions, learning a new task like another language or creative problem solving!
例如,处理情绪,学习一项新的任务,如另一种语言或创造性的问题解决!
Musicians brains have better communication between the left and right hemispheres which allows for more cooperation and out of the box thinking!
音乐家的大脑左右半球之间有更好的交流,这就允许有更多的合作和创造性思维!
Some researchers think that this is because the corpus callosum, the structure that connects both hemispheres, is larger in musicians.
一些研究人员认为,这是因为音乐家的胼胝体(连接两个半球的结构)更大。
This could be the reason the two sides of the brain communicate with each other more effectively to solve problems.
这可能是大脑两侧能够更有效地沟通以解决问题的原因。
OK, Triangle Bob, quick, how can you fit this boat in this bottle? No, don't break it. OK, he needs a little bit more practice.
三角鲍勃,快,你怎么把船装进这个瓶子里?不,不要打破它。好的,他需要多练习一下。
Playing an instrument also has some amazing health benefits for your brain and body.
弹奏乐器对你的大脑和身体也有一些惊人的健康益处。
From boosting your immune system function to increasing resilience to hearing loss to even helping stroke patients regain motor skills!
从增强你的免疫系统功能到提高恢复力到听力丧失,甚至帮助中风患者恢复运动技能!
It's been found that just listening to music can prompt the repair and regeneration of damaged nerves in the brain!
人们发现,仅仅听音乐就能促进大脑受损神经的修复和再生!
Taking that a little further, learning to play an instrument, even in later years, has been linked to a 64% lower risk of developing dementia and other cognitive impairments!
更进一步说,学习弹奏乐器,即使是在以后的几年里,也可以降低64%的患痴呆症和其他认知障碍的风险!
There is a lot of other structural and functional differences in the brains of musicians versus non-musicians.
音乐家和非音乐家的大脑在结构和功能上有很多不同。
But it's important to note that it isn't entirely clear if each of these differences are due to years of training or if these people were born with these differences and that predisposed them to their passion for music.
但需要注意的是,我们并不完全清楚这些差异是由于多年的训练,还是这些人天生就有这些差异,从而使他们对音乐产生了热情。
That being said, it's been found that musicians brains have more gray matter, more neuroplasticity, altered white matter, and sometimes a more symmetrical firing pattern!
话虽如此,我们发现音乐家的大脑有更多的灰质,更强的神经可塑性,不一样的白质,有时还有更对称的放电模式!
The process of playing an instrument or learning a similar skill, also strengthens the myelin coating around nerves, allowing signals to be sent through the body faster.
弹奏乐器或学习类似技能的过程也会增强神经周围的髓磷脂涂层,使信号能更快地通过身体传递。
This could help explain why musicians have faster response times. Quick, Triangle Bob! Think fast! Oh, he actually caught it. No. Don't! Don't eat it! Don't eat the ball! OK! He is eating the ball.
这有助于解释为什么音乐家的反应速度更快。快,三角形鲍勃!哦,他真的抓住了。不。不!不要吃!不要吃球!好的!他正在吃球。
