If you've ever had this experience, your brain is special

Scientists believe that only some people with special brains will experience this, and through a thorough study.

Have you ever heard a solo guitar, an immortal drum, or a plaintive piano that felt chill, goosebumps? If ever, then you most likely have a fairly special brain.

According to Alissa Der Sarkissian - an assistant for a study from the University of Southern California (USC), it felt like listening to a song played on radio.

"I feel my breath beating with the music, my heart beats more slowly, and I sense what the song wants to convey - both emotion and body response" - she explained. .

Originally a Harvard student, Der Sarkissian conducted research on this phenomenon with Matthew Sachs - currently studying a master's degree at USC. They want to check how the brain works differently among people who feel goose bumps when listening to music and normal people.

As a result, people who feel cold in the spine, have goose bumps that have many nerve fibers connected to the auditory cortex , which is responsible for handling emotions. This shows that in these people, the two regions are able to communicate and operate more effectively.

"The hypothesis is that having multiple nerve fibers helps increase the performance of the two regions, which means that the processing speed will be faster," Sachs said.

This is a rather strange phenomenon, when neuroscientists and psychologists do not realize the benefits of this phenomenon in evolution. However, Sachs's discovery could be answered.

"Perhaps this is why music is spread across all cultures, because it impacts the emotional area from the human brain."

In short, if you often get goose bumps when listening to music, your brain has a really amazing ability to handle emotions.
