Four office workers were asked to transcribe two 600-word sets of song lyrics. The first set was transcribed with no music playing, while the other was completed with classical music playing in the background.

四名办公室职员被要求抄写两套600字的歌词，第一套是在没有音乐播放的情况下抄写的，而另一套则是在播放古典音乐的背景下完成的。

The first task, completed in silence, was completed in an average time of 20 minutes and 59 seconds. However, the second transcription exercise that involved music was completed in an average time of 17 minutes and 42 seconds; a difference of three minutes and 17 seconds, or 15%.

第一项在静默中完成的抄写任务，平均完成时间为20分59秒。而在听音乐时执行的第二个任务平均完成时间为17分42秒，相差3分17秒，即15%。

"Music has a very powerful impact on the brain. It affects mood, mental performance and physical performance,” says Dr. Spelman in a media release. “Many people find that listening to certain types of instrumental music can help them with their productivity levels. The music can function as a sort of ‘white noise’, cancelling out potentially distracting ambient noise.”

斯佩尔曼博士在媒体发布会上表示：“音乐对大脑有着非常强大的影响，它会影响情绪、心理表现和身体表现。许多人发现，听某些类型的器乐可以帮助他们提高工作效率，音乐可以起到某种白噪音的作用，抵消了环境噪音的潜在干扰。”
