　　Listening to a favorite son might promote the brain’s ability to respond to other stimuli(刺激) in people with chaos of consciousness.

　　Music has been shown to have a beneficial influence on cognitive(认知) process in healthy people and those who have brain damage. For example, daily music therapy can help to increase cognitive recovery.

　　Fabien Perrin at the University of Lyon, France, and colleagues recorded brain activity in four patients while they were reading a list of people’s names, including their own names. Before the list, they listened to either their favorite music—chosen by family or friends –or “musical noise”. The team then repeated the experiment with ten healthy volunteers.

　　In all four patients, playing the music rather than musical noise promoted the quality of the brain’s response to their own names, bringing it closer to the brain response of the healthy volunteers to hearing their names. The work was presented at the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness meeting in Brighton, UK, last month.

　　Perrin has two theories about what’s going on. “Listening to preferred music excites our memory of ourselves—so it could make it easier for the response to the information such as our own names,” he says. “Another theory is that music promotes awareness, so maybe it temporarily increases consciousness and recognition of one’s own names becomes easier.”
