Why would a Lincoln dealership be writing about the effect of music on the brain?
At Causeway Lincoln, you'll find the Lincoln MKX, which offers a superb and innovative sound system; the Revel Ultima. Revel Ultima features 19 speakers, all carefully placed with point-source architecture in mind so that every detail reaches your ear simultaneously, for a seamless musical fabric.
What can sound quality like that do for your mind?
Studies have shown that music affects mood and cognition in several ways. First, when exposed to a strong beat, your brainwaves will eventually begin to resonate with that beat. Slow beats have been used in cultures throughout history to induce a peaceful, meditative state. Fast beats, on the other hand, have an energizing effect.
As your heart rate and breathing try to sync up with the music you listen to, you may feel much more alert and awake while listening to something with a speedy tempo.
Memory is another feature of the mind that may be stimulated with the right sounds. Remember rocking out to a hit song at your high school prom? Somehow, whenever that song comes on the radio, you can still see the decorations, and hear your friends laughing and singing along.
Music activates the hippocampus-- the memory and emotion center of the brain. Familiar songs have even been documented stimulating lost memories in Alzheimer's patients.
We believe the best way to get your daily dose of these brain-changing sounds is with the optimized audio system in the Lincoln MKX. Stop by our showroom in Manahawkin, NJ, and test drive a Lincoln MKX from our new inventory.
