What kind of music helps in the work ?

Anyone who downloaded the peppy tune or listened to their favorite melancholic ballad knows that music affects the mental state. Author , composer and producer of the musical project " healing frequencies Wholetones» Michael Tyrrell says that music can not only affect your mental state , it can actually make you more productive . However, it is not the music has this effect - a musical frequency . An unusual effect tells NOTABLER.

Musical frequency is known to be measured in Hertz (Hz). Hertz called the change of state or the sound wave cycle at a rate of one revolution per second. How it works? Let's look at an example.

If you tune the guitar to 432 Hz, which means that when you are pinching one of her strings, it will vibrate 432 times per second. How can this affect your mood? Studies have shown that the rate of frequency may be the reason why music affects our mental and emotional health.

"Spends quite a lot of research, what influence the music on your mental state," says Tirrell. "For example, the scientific and medical studies have shown that music with frequency 396 Hz body relaxes completely. Many managers use the frequency of 417 Hz to enhance the creative potential of their staff. "

Tyrell identifies three reasons why when listening to music at the right frequency can help you increase the productivity of office work:

1. Music particular frequency allows the body and mind to relax, calm down, to better focus on the task at hand difficult.

2. Cpetsificheskie frequencies stimulate different centers in the brain, helping to improve its efficiency a variety of ways. It helps him to think better, to react and to focus on the immediate task at hand.

1. Some known frequencies may increase the difficulty of information processing in the brain that facilitates processing and increases abstract creativity and concentration ability.

Tyrrel offers to search for music, which is the average frequency of about 417 Hz to provide the optimal sound level, improve concentration and attention, enhance creativity.

How about music that we should avoid? Tyrrell said that in America, the average global setting musical projects tend to 440Hz. This, in particular, hits the Top 40 hits, and all that flows from the popular radio stations. Unfortunately, studies show a negative effect on the performance of the musical band. "The optimal range for relaxation -almost 396 Hz to 50 Hz, than the standard," - says Tyrrell. "If you're trying to focus and really improve performance, there is nothing from top-40 will not help you in this."

Can the ambient noises do the same? Tyrrell says - no. "White noise does not provide the same stimulating effect as certain frequencies simply because our mind is set to ignore it" - he says. "Of course, the sound of the waves help you to fall asleep, but it is a different reaction than focusing his mind, allowing him to immediately become more productive."

What about those of us who believe that music is any music - distract us from working? Tyrrell offers to lower the volume to a barely audible voice. "If it still proves to be too intrusive," he says, - "I would suggest taking a few minutes to leave the execution of your tasks and meditate. Focus your breath and your thoughts on the goals and objectives that you want to finish quickly. Highlight ten minutes and devote all their energies to this task, breathe deeply, clear your mind of any other distractions. "Once you calm down, go back to the music."
