Article Synopsis
- Research highlights the benefits of specific musical scales, or 'Raagas', in reducing stress, but lower-level music properties like tempo and octave are less studied.
- A study with 21 male medical students tested two types of instrumental music: 'Varying music' (VM) with tempo and octave changes, and 'Stable music' (SM) without variations, assessing their effects on anxiety over six days.
- Results showed VM significantly reduced anxiety scores and altered brain activity patterns, while HRV remained stable during both music types, suggesting that carefully selected music can effectively aid in stress management.
