How Music Affects Your Brain (PARAPHRASE)
This is a video from Discovery Channel news explaining how music effects your brain in positive and the negative ways. Shows that brain ways resonate with beat of music, somehow syncing up heartbeat to music. Scientific reasoning instead of personal opinion. The video goes into different areas of the brain and how music uses all of the brain. Not only including the good, it goes into how louder music, like those at clubs can hinder proper decision making.

Does music help you focus? Yes, but only if you like the music (Direct Quote)
This article is based off a study of atients in MRI machines while listening to music to visually see how music impacts your brain.
