根據最新研究顯示,聽莫札特的音樂可以增強大腦的記憶、理解和解決問題能力。
![Listening to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, shown in the portrait above, caused changes in brain wave activity that are linked to intelligence, memory and having an open mind to problem solving, research from Sapienza University of Rome shows. The effects were most pronounced in young adults and elderly adults](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/005B1F6B00000258-3112339-image-m-3_1433510440623.jpg)
有趣的是,研究團隊在測完腦波後發現,聽貝多芬的音樂對大腦卻沒有相同的影響,可見莫札特的音樂有其獨特之處,能「刺激」我們的大腦,而且在年輕人和老人身上尤其明顯。羅馬大學 (Sapienza University of Rome) 的研究人員表示,這顯示莫札特的音樂能夠「活絡」與認知功能密切相關的神經皮質迴路。
由下圖可以觀察到不同刺激下的腦電波狀況,研究人員發現不論是年輕人或老人,兩邊都對莫札特的音樂呈現良好反應,不過患有輕度認知障礙的老人則屬例外。
![The graphs above show the effect on different types of brainwave activity when particpants were listening to either Mozart's L'allegro con spirito or Fur Elise by Beethoven. The younger adults appeared to benefit from Mozart the most while elderly patients did too.

研究對象包含10名平均年齡為33歲的成人組 (上表左);10名平均85歲的老年組 (上表中);與10名平均77歲的輕度認知障礙MCI組 (上表右)。他們分別聽了莫札特的《 D大調雙鋼琴奏鳴曲,K448──第一樂章:精神奕奕的快板》與貝多芬的《給愛麗絲》。研究人員發現,在聽完貝多芬的音樂後,老人組與成人組在「智商、記憶力與理解力」的相關大腦區域,數據都有增加的現象。
研究人員也表示,原因可能是因為莫札特的音樂會頻繁地不斷重複,屬於「很有組織」的音樂,可以使聽者「很理性」地聆聽音樂,同時也能預期接下來的旋律。
在斯洛伐克東部就有醫院讓新生兒聽音樂來適應離開母親體內的日子,研究也證明並非所有音樂都有效。

The new research, however, shows that not all music can produce a beneficial effect](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/02C7EE6E0000044D-3112339-image-a-1_1433510425897.jpg)
比如像我們的貝多芬…
![Music by Beethoven, shown above, did not appear to change the brainwaves of the participants in the study](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/191B406E000005DC-3112339-image-a-6_1433511281123.jpg)
貝多芬表示:「我錯了嗎?」
