Hearts Beating As One on Staccato
from The Second Street Dreams Audio Network · host Judlyne Lilly
When most of us attend classical music concerts, we’re most likely not thinking about how our fellow patrons are enjoying the music. Apparently, we’re all affected by the performance at the same rate called Embodied Cognition. That’s according to a study by Dr. Wolfgang Tschacher, Professor Emeritus at the University of Bern in Switzerland. He and his team at the Experimental Concert Research Project found that our heart and breathing rates become the same during the concert.
