If your parents tell you to turn down the music, feel free to actually say “hell no” without a single ounce of guilt. While you’re listening to Riot Fest line-up bands on repeat, don’t worry. You’re not wasting the day away. You’re actually doing something magical for your brain.
Research, that has been recently published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that it only takes a few years to gain the neurological benefits as those who have committed their lives to music. Just look at the image below for the good news. In a study of 45 adults, those with minimal musical training had comparable high scores to those with 11+ years in the music field.
Feel free to rage and crowd surf till your heart’s content. It’s been given a stamp of approval.
