American researchers say contact with rhythm may help people with neurological diseases lead a better life. The researchers reported the finding after they carried out experiments with a famous rock and roll musician.
Scientists say that timing has a major influence on how the human brain works, and when the timing is off, so is the processing of information.
The new study is the work of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco. They examined the brain of Mickey Hart. He is a former member of the rock group The Grateful Dead. For the study, he was asked to play electronic drums as a part of a computer game.
Doctor Adam Gazzaley is a neurologist. He says the experiments combined neuroscience with modern technology - gaming and the virtual world.
So we couple these three different worlds together, use them to inform each other and create really the most powerful real time neural activity visualizer that anyone has ever seen, he said.
Mickey Hart wore a special headgear with sensors as he played the drums. In another room, scientists watched how his brain reacted to the orderly beat or rhythm. They watched how his eyes move, they measured changes in his blood flow and body temperature.
All this information showed his brains activity in real-time. Mickey Hart says, he is interested in knowing how his brain, what he calls the master clock works.
