  6. How Music Triggers Brain Function and Memory Written by Bel Marra Health A study in the early 90’s found that children who listen to Mozart have enhanced brain function and memory capabilities–this correlation was aptly coined the “Mozart Effect.” Although the Mozart effect gained widespread popularity and parents around the globe began playing Mozart to their babies and children in hopes of improving their brain function and intelligence, a later review of the Irvine University study revealed that the study was based on a small-scale investigation and that the scientists actually conducted the study on young adult students, not children. In addition, the brain power boosting effects were in no way cumulative or permanent, they only lasted for 15 minutes. Brain Power and Memory Although the Mozart study didn’t yield any concrete evidence that listening to music can boost memory, IQ or brain function, there have been countless subsequent studies that have proven that it does. Studies over the past 20 years have found that all types of music produce memory and brain power boosting effects. And the benefits are not limited to children, the also apply to adolescents, adults and the aging population. The Effect of Music ADVERTISEMENT A large meta-analysis of multiple studies was conducted in 2010 and it found that it’s not so much a specific artist or genre that is responsible for the memory and brain function enhancing effects of music, it is actually personal preference that is responsible. In other words, if you like pop music, than you will experience a greater brain boosting effect listening to Lady Gaga, than you will to Classical music or other genres of music. The exact reason why music enhances brain function has not been definitively determined but scientists speculate that it is the cognitive arousal you receive from listening to music that is responsible. Basically, your brain needs to be stimulated in order to activate certain memory and intelligence centers and music acts as a stimulant that jump starts those centers of your brain. Music and the Anti-Aging Effect The latest study to investigate the correlation between music and brain power, examined the effects of playing an instrument on IQ levels. The 18 month long German study was conducted on 73 boys and girls aged 7 to 8. Approximately one-third of the children were given weekly 45 minute music lessons on the instrument of their choice and they were also told to practice regularly at home. According to the research team the study found that there is “a positive transfer effect from musical expertise onto speech and language processing.” In other words, children who are trained on an instrument experience an improvement in verbal memory. “Across one and one-half years, children in the music group showed a greater increase on every measure of verbal memory than the natural science and control groups.” As of yet, no studies have been done to determine if playing an instrument positively effects an adolescent or aging brain. RELATED READING: 10 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Brain at Any Age! Another recent brain function/music study conducted at Ohio State University, examined the effects of working out while listening to music. The researchers found that listening to music while exercising increased scores of verbal fluency in cardiac rehabilitation patients. The patients scored more than double on the verbal fluency test after they worked out to music, then they did when they simply exercised without music. “Listening to music may influence cognitive function through different pathways in the brain,” states lead researcher Emery. “The combination of music and exercise may stimulate and increase cognitive arousal while helping to organize cognitive output.” Although the brain boosting effects of music may not be powerful enough to increase the IQ of adult and aging brains, it seems that it can help to enhance brain function, at least in the interim. Just remember to play something that you enjoy and if you have some free time, consider taking musical instrument lessons!

  7. THE REASON WHY MUSIC CAN TRIGGER FORGOTTEN MEMORIES & NOSTALGIA Listening to a song can trigger some pretty intense memories – your first kiss, your first car ride, your first heartbreak, or happy moments with the family. In times of hardship, a lot of people turn to the music of their youth for solace. Almost all sensory experiences can trigger nostalgia, most famously Proust’s Madeleine (a type of French sponge cake). In the book ‘In Search Of Lost Time’, Proust describes how he dips the cake into some tea and it suddenly sends him back to a childhood memory when he ate Madeleines with his Aunt. It has become a famous literary reference used to describe a situation where a gesture or object triggers a long-forgotten memory buried in the subconscious mind. But, Madeleines aside, music can induce nostalgia faster and easier than almost anything else. According to scientists Schulkind, Hennis, Rubin and Professor Ira Hyman, a song triggers an emotion that matches the emotion felt at the time the event happened. In order to evoke memories, sensations need precise connections. In other words it’s a set of events in your memory waiting for another event or sensation to match the original. It’s a miracle of memory which highlights the complexity of the brain and its infinite capacity to store information in a box. The music is the key to that box. The ‘madeleine’ is a powerful thing. Which is why no matter how our consumption of music changes, it will never change the impact music can have on us as emotional beings. ICONIC SONGS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU FEEL NOSTALGIC The music industry has never had a shortage of new and upcoming talents. But sometimes you come across an old song and it transports you back to a time that now seems so distant. Let’s take a walk down memory lane with music that brings back memories...

  8. John Ward Rescuing the Past The Music-Memory Trigger HERE: https://therealslog.com/2022/02/18/the-music-memory-trigger/ The Dystopians will try to vapourise and slag off everything good that came before them, but they’re going to have their hands full when it comes to those elements in life that transport we the Wrinklies back in time. This could be anything from the smell of fish and chip shops all the way through to the sight of open fires, and long walks where kicking up the leaves was at least half the fun. Thus – taking those three examples – after soccer training in Manchester on Thursday nights, we always retired to the El Paso Supper Bar (known locally as the El p***o) for battered cod with lashings of salt and vinegar; the flicker of flame (and the wood-burn smell next morning) transports me to our weekend cottage in North Oxfordshire during the late 1970s; and falling leaves will always remind me of escapes to Cwm Du in Wales during the early 1980s among genuinely liberal mates coming to terms with the ground-shaking horrors of Thatcherism. In this post, I want to write about music, and its ability to dilate and overcome Time – transporting us back to the Old Normal. On CD, vinyl, iphone and in Clouds around the world, this is a reality that is – literally – on the record. It would take the Dystopians decades to vapourise it all, which is tough for them, because contained within the lyrics of ‘pop’ music is evidence of how much gentler – or harmless, creatively open-minded, well-arranged and cleverly written – it was. In the late 1950s, the Everly Brothers told Suzie she had to wake up – having fallen asleep at the drive-in (“the movie wasn’t so hot”) and now it was after midnight: what would people think? Reputations shot, oh-lala. Around 1960, they penned a song So sad to see good love go bad which is an anthem for everyone who ever got dumped. Also occupying the role of the eternal loser in love was the legendary ‘Big O’, Roy Orbison. His songs brilliantly captured the emotions of young romance. It’s Over (you thought it was forever), Running Scared (will the old flame win her back?), In Dreams (unable to accept that churning reality of betrayal), and the inimitable Cryin’ (meeting an old love after many years): ‘I thought that I was over you/ but it’s true oh so true/ I love you even more than I did before/But darlin’ what can I do/ It’s hard to understand/ that the touch of your hand/ can leave me cryin’/ You wished me well/but you couldn’t tell/ that I’ve been crying.’ Many today would dismiss those lyrics as clichéd; but they weren’t then…they were (and still are) the real, heartfelt and universal pain involved in the shattering of a dream. Are people still that sensitive? I’m not sure that many are: neoliberalism has made the young harder. It’s not an improvement. Even as late as the 1980s, Neil Young (now a wrinkly minus his common sense, sadly) wrote: ‘I can’t forget how/ love lasts a while/ but seems like forever in the first place/ But we’re already one/ now only time can come between us/ Our little son/ Won’t let us forget.’ The Eagles – a hugely talented and often underrated hit-machine in the 1970s – would be seen by the political Lesbian Sisters of No Mercy as ‘misogynist’ today. They weren’t and they aren’t: their output has stood the test of time by offering a sharply realistic understanding of how a few damaged women (‘a smile can open every door’) take the easy way through life and then regret it: ‘You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes/ and your smile’s a thin disguise/Thought by now you’d realise/Ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes’. Michelle Shocked (herself a lesbian but without the ID issues) touches on the same point in her beautiful song Memories of East Texas: ‘I mean to tell you my friend, there ain’t no easy roads’ Similarly, the Eagles track Take it Easy describes a freewheeling American Freak lifestyle tied closer to dirt roads than harsh urbanism: Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona Such a fine sight to see It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford Slowin’ down to take a look at me Take it easy Take it easy Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy Lighten up while you still can Don’t even try to understand Just find a place to make your stand And take it easy The other band that (for me) owns its decade in terms of commentary on real life is The Kinks when it comes to the 1960s. While flower-power poseurs were busy singing about hearing their toenails grow, the main Kinks composer Ray Davies wrote Waterloo Sunset, Autumn Almanac, Well Respected Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Lola, Dead End Street, Wonder Boy, Days, and Apeman: ‘I don’ feel safe in this world no more/ I don’ wanna die in a nuclear war/ I wanna sail away to a distant shore/ and make like an apeman’. Waterloo Sunset in particular captured the atmosphere of Sixties London like no other song: ‘Millions of people/ swarming like flies round/ Waterloo Underground/ But Terry and Julie Cross over the River/To where they fell safe and sound/ And they don’t feel afraid/ as long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset/ They are in Paradise’ Penultimately, if you ever want to get a taste of sex, drugs and heavy metal before it was called that, you have to invest in the final live album from The Who, Who’s Last. There you’ll learn about odd teenage urges in Pictures of Lily and Can’t Explain, gender confusion in I’m a Boy, true rebellion in My Generation, and the bizarre Mods and Rockers phenomenon in Pinball Wizard: Ever since I was a young boy I’ve played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played ’em all But I ain’t seen nothing like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball He stands like a statue Becomes part of the machine Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean He plays by intuition The digit counters fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball He’s a pinball wizard There has got to be a twist A pinball wizard’s Got such a supple wrist Last but not least, the Manchester band Simply Red showed in the late 1980s that life-saving romance was still alive and well in their sublime song A New Flame: She’s made of real glass She got real real emotion But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion She’s turned me round A new flame has come And nothing she can do can do me wrong I’m told it was a very personal song for the lead singer Mick Hucknell. It certainly is for me: late last year, it seemed to bond me to another human being in a special way. But once again, the internet’s two-dimensionality proved that it’s a medium tailor-made for deception. Which is a large part of what I’m on about here at this new Slogpage. Now we all have our own favourites from one decade or another, and I have no doubt that many will question mine. But that isn’t the real point….although the hugely eclectic range of music from Swing in 1952 to around 1992 is tangentially relevant: it does after all compare very well indeed to the packaged fame mania typified by Britain’s Got Talent under the dangerous guidance of judges like Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan. Before neoliberalism demanded braindead bums on every seat, talent got discovered – and the talented did it the hard way. Ground-up genuine musical innovation quickly died in the face of Top-Down cynical camera fakery. It’s a continuing story of our sad epoch. However, what we have looked at briefly in this post is irreversible recorded history. Those baby boomers born soon after the collapse of the last Nazi Empire know perfectly well that the Klaus Schwab Davos rejection of real history is a quite mind-boggling attempt to persuade kids born in the 21st century that post-reset life will be kinder, less stressful and “orltogezza butter” than life seventy years ago. This insane assertion is the great obscenity of our time. Onkel Klaus and his fellow exterminators are openly proud of “ze vay in vich ve haff penotrattet efry major Exucateev in ze Wurlt”. They’ve had thirty years now in which to improve out lot, and the statistical reality is that we have money of far less value, no employment rights, far less stimulation in our media output, rapidly declining liberties, fixed elections, all-powerful surveillance States, politicised education, rising unemployment, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson, Tony Blair and George Soros. All of these very strange men have chosen to align themselves with sexuality obsessions, Green nonsense, mandatory vaccination, and pc jargon. So if nothing else, the body of Pop music over the forty year period I presented proves one thing above all: when people called a spade a spade and rebelled against conformity, nobody died. The only people about to die are the Baby Boomers. In another 15-20 years, we won’t be around to question the air-brushing of the New Stalinists. Ensuring the continued existence of an untouchable, better-known real record of history now is therefore absolutely vital. Read comments on the original website ...

  12. Windows XP 2022 Edition is everything Windows 11 should be By Wayne Williams "Windows users currently have a choice of two (supported) operating systems -- Windows 10 or Windows 11. While Microsoft would prefer users to be running the latest OS, adoption of Windows 11 has slowed dramatically in recent months. When Windows XP first arrived back in 2001 it really shook things up with its revolutionary design and playful color scheme. If you were wondering how it might look if it was released today, we have the answer. Prolific concept creator Addy Visuals has put his creative abilities into imagining what a modern version of XP might look like. Given the tagline of 'Experience Again', his take on the OS has the look and color scheme of XP, blended with Windows 11 features, such as rounded corners and a centered taskbar and Start menu. Addy's creation rocks a remastered version of the iconic Bliss wallpaper, but at one point he animates it, with the fluffy white clouds floating over the lush green hill, which is a great touch. And when XP goes into dark mode, the wallpaper looks as if it was taken at nighttime. There are several nods to XP of the past here, including the return of the search companion Rover the dog, and 3D Pinball Space Cadet. Take a look at the video and let us know what you think of it, and this vision for Windows XP 2022 Edition, in the comments below." 135 Comments "135 Responses to Windows XP 2022 Edition is everything Windows 11 should be" HERE: https://betanews.com/2022/05/11/windows-xp-2022-edition/#comments - BUT I'm not able to see the comments section, no Disqus in my uBlock on this website, on my Chromium or Firefox forks, WHY?...

  13. Too much pleasure causes pain A fresh perspective on why anxiety, chronic pain and depression have been on the rise: 20th March 2023 Anna Lembke | Anna Lembke is professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. Happiness has been declining precipitously in the West for 30 years, despite better access to healthcare and education and decreases in poverty and violence. Groundbreaking Stanford psychiatrist and author of Dopamine Nation, Anna Lembke, provides a fresh perspective on why anxiety, chronic pain and depression have been on the rise, locating the problem in a mismatch between the modern world and our brain’s pain and pleasure apparatus. As a practicing psychiatrist in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley for more than two decades, I’ve seen growing numbers of patients struggling with depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, despite otherwise good health, loving families, robust social networks, financial privilege, and access to elite education … all the things we’ve come to associate with the ‘good life’. My clinical experience broadly mirrors what is happening in the rest of the world. Global happiness surveys show that people today are less happy than they were 20 years ago. Rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain are increasing all over the planet but especially in rich nations. How can we make sense of this? Some argue that our despair is the result of a widening income gap. But the long view tells us that in fact the gap between rich and poor is smaller than it has been in centuries. Even the poorest of the poor living in rich nations today have more leisure time, more disposable income, and more access to luxury goods than at any point in recorded history. Some argue that trauma is the source of our suffering, but what kind of trauma are we talking about, beyond the trauma we create for ourselves? Can we honestly say that life today is more traumatic than it was thirty years ago? ___ Twenty years ago the first thing I would have done for a patient presenting with anxiety or depression was prescribe an antidepressant or recommend psychotherapy. Today I’m more likely to suggest a dopamine fast: Abstaining from our drug of choice for four weeks ___ I suggest to you that the primary cause of our unhappiness today is The Plenty Paradox. Abundance itself has become the source of our suffering. Wired for scarcity and a world of ever-present danger, the human brain is woefully mismatched for this world of dopamine overload, in which almost every human activity has become druggified in some way – made more reinforcing, more accessible, more potent, more novel, and nearly infinite in quantity. We also have drugs that didn’t exist before. Any child with access to the Internet can consume digital media, which lights up the same parts of our brains as drugs and alcohol. Tik Tok never runs out. To understand how too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing, we need to understand how our brains process pleasure and pain. One of the most important discoveries in the field of neuroscience in the past 75 years is that pleasure and pain are co-located. That means the same parts of the brain that process pleasure also process pain, and they work like opposite sides of a balance: When we feel pleasure the balance tips one way; when we feel pain it tips the other. There are several rules governing this balance, and the first and most important is that the balance wants to stay level, what neuroscientists call homeostasis, and our brains will work very hard to restore a level balance after any deviation from neutrality. I like to imagine that as these little neuroadaptive gremlins hopping on the pain side of the balance to bring it level again. But the gremlins like to stay on the balance, so they don’t hop off once it’s level. They stay on until it has tipped an equal and opposite amount to the side of pain. This is the hangover, the comedown, or in my case, that moment of wanting to eat one more piece of chocolate, read one more romance novel, watch one more episode of American Idol. If you haven’t met your drug of choice yet, it’s coming soon to a website near you. ___ That means the same parts of the brain that process pleasure also process pain, and they work like opposite sides of a balance: When we feel pleasure the balance tips one way; when we feel pain it tips the other ___ If I wait long enough, the gremlins hop off the balance, neutrality is restored, and craving passes. But what if I don’t wait? What if instead I watch another video, and another, and another, until hours later I’m watching Youtube videos of people watching Youtube videos late into the night. How did I get here?! Now I need to keep watching Youtube videos not to feel pleasure, but just to feel normal, and as soon as I stop watching, I experience the universal symptoms of withdrawal from any addictive substance: anxiety, irritability, insomnia, dysphoria, and mental preoccupation with using, otherwise known as craving. This is the hallmark of the addicted brain. I end up with enough gremlins on the pain side of my balance to fill a whole room. They’re camped out for the long haul, tents and barbecues in tow. I’ve changed my hedonic (joy) set-point. I’m in a dopamine-deficit state. Despite increased access to all these feel-good drugs … or, as I hypothesize, because of it … we’re more miserable than ever. According to the World Happiness Report, which ranks 156 countries by how happy their citizens perceive themselves to be, people living in the United States reported being less happy in 2018 than they were in 2008. Other countries with similar measures of wealth, social support, and life expectancy saw similar decreases in self-reported happiness scores, including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, New Zealand, and Italy. Researchers interviewed nearly 150,000 people in twenty-six countries to determine the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder, defined as excessive and uncontrollable worry that adversely affected their life. They found that richer countries had higher rates of anxiety than poor ones. The number of new cases of depression worldwide increased 50 percent between 1990 and 2017. The highest increases in new cases were seen in regions with the highest sociodemographic index (income), especially North America. ___ Twenty years ago the first thing I would have done for a patient presenting with anxiety or depression was prescribe an antidepressant or recommend psychotherapy. Today I’m more likely to suggest a dopamine fast: Abstaining from our drug of choice for four weeks ___ We are literally consuming ourselves to death. Seventy percent of world global deaths are attributable to disease caused by modifiable behavioral risk factors like smoking, physical inactivity, and diet. The leading global risks for mortality are high blood pressure (13 percent), tobacco use (9 percent), high blood sugar (6 percent), physical inactivity (6 percent), and obesity (5 percent). In 2013, an estimated 2.1 billion adults were overweight, compared with 857 million in 1980. There are now more people worldwide who are obese than who are underweight, except in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The poor and undereducated, especially those living in rich nations, are most susceptible to the problem of compulsive overconsumption. They have easy access to high-reward, high-potency, high-novelty drugs at the same time that they lack access to meaningful work, safe housing, quality education, affordable health care, and race and class equity before the law. This creates a dangerous nexus of addiction risk. Our compulsive overconsumption further threatens our planet. The world’s natural resources are rapidly diminishing. Economists estimate that in 2040 the world’s natural capital (land, forests, fisheries, fuels) will be 21 percent less in high-income countries and 17 percent less in poorer countries than today. Meanwhile, carbon emissions will grow by 7 percent in high-income countries and 44 percent in the rest of the world. What to do? Twenty years ago the first thing I would have done for a patient presenting with anxiety or depression was prescribe an antidepressant or recommend psychotherapy. Today I’m more likely to suggest a dopamine fast: Abstaining from our drug of choice for four weeks. Why four weeks? Because that’s the average amount of time it takes for those neuroadaptation gremlins to hop off the pain side of the balance and for homeostasis to be restored. About 80% of my patients feel better with this intervention alone, consistent with the idea that consumption of high reward substances and behaviors feels good in the short term but contributes to depression and anxiety in the long term. I also recommend that my patients intentionally do things that are hard, because the gremlins are agnostic to the initial stimulus. If we first press on the pleasure side of the balance, they’ll hop on the pain side and stay on until we’re tipped an equal and opposite amount to the side of pleasure. By paying for our dopamine up front, we can reset joy to the side of pleasure. Examples include physically and/or psychologically effortful activity in moderate doses, like exercise, ice cold water plunges, intermittent fasting, meditation, prayer, etc. How about you? What is your drug of choice, the thing that once you start you have trouble stopping? Or the thing that makes you feel good in the moment but worse afterward. Consider the smartphone itself as a possible culprit. Whatever your drug of choice, I challenge you to give it up for a month, or a week, or even a single day. When you do, notice how at first your pleasure pain balance tilts to the side of pain and you feel restless, cranky, and most of all preoccupied with using your drug … your brain telling you all the reasons why you should use even though you planned not to. But if you wait long enough, the gremlins hop off, and balance is restored. You’ll find you’re free then. Your mind is less preoccupied with using, you’re more able to be present in the moment, and life’s little, unexpected joys are rewarding again. If and when you decide to go back to using, remember to create literal and metacognitive barriers (self-binding) between yourself and your drug of choice, so you don’t go to war with your gremlins. Get your dopamine indirectly by pressing on the pain side of the balance. Bottom line: To reset your dopamine brain, first abstain, self-bind to maintain, then seek out pain.

  16. Recover a lot of space on your PC using this application: SpaceSniffer March 8, 2023 Matt Mills The space of any computer is important. For this reason, there are many programs that we can see that are in charge of freeing up space in the storage system. In this way, we will get rid of manually managing the computer’s memory on a regular basis, since the application we use will take care of it. With the passage of time, the volume of files that we accumulate is greater. There may even come a time when the hard drive no longer allows more, since it has finished filling up. For this very reason, we are going to see an application with which we are going to recover a lot of space on the PC. Manage memory with SpaceSniffer The application that we can use to manage the space on the computer’s hard drive is SpaceSniffer. This particular program, in addition to being free, will give us the option to see, in the form of a tree map, the size that each of the files that we have on the PC can occupy. So we will have a simpler and faster option to know which are the files that occupy the most and, above all, to know if they are really important to continue keeping them on the computer. In this case, we are dealing with a tool that has a series of features that make it a good alternative when choosing an application to manage PC memory: Tree map of the drive or directory of the computer. Gives the ability to browse the disk. Allows you to export the results to a text file. Lets tag files and directories. It allows you to move, delete or copy files in a simple way. It displays the results in boxes of different colors.

  17. Disable these useless Windows 10 features and gain up to 37% performance March 27, 2023 Matt Mills Microsoft‘s new operating system has generated a lot of criticism, due to the limitations it implements. Windows 11 adds two additional security features by default, which are now active in Windows 10 as well . Well, they found that these two worthless features lead to up to 37% loss in gaming performance. Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) and Hypervisor Mandatory Code Consistency Inspection (HCVI) features are security features implemented in the latest two Windows distributions by default. Its integration, in the first instance, already raised doubts about the possible impact on system performance. Before continuing, we are going to explain in a simple way what these two functions are. VBS is a feature that allows Windows to create a secure memory key that isolates itself from unsecure code. HVCI is a VBS plugin (to put it simply) that prevents unsigned or rogue drivers and software from entering memory. These two functions seek to limit the possible damage that malware, malicious software, can cause in the system. We must say that VBS and HVCI are theoretically disabled features in Windows 10 and Windows 11. But, it seems that after recent updates, both features become enabled by default. It doesn’t happen in all cases, but you might find that this function is active. Does it affect performance a lot?...

Shortly after, ChatGPT was launched, the AI that allows us to generate any type of text based on a description, one of the most used tools in educational environments and that even some teachers support its use, although not the vast majority....
