A new brain imaging technique called FREQ-NESS offers a dynamic view of how the brain responds to sound. Unlike older methods, FREQ-NESS shows how neural networks change in real-time with each tone or rhythm.
Researchers found that brainwave networks shift and reorganize in response to sound. This suggests that sound actively shapes the brain, which could explain how music affects mood and how rhythmic therapies work.
FREQ-NESS could lead to new brain-computer interfaces and help diagnose conditions like autism. It also challenges existing ideas about attention and perception, suggesting that sound profoundly influences how we focus and learn.
