RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF HUMAN BRAIN TO AN ARRAY OF MUSICAL NOTES

RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF HUMAN BRAIN TO AN ARRAY OF MUSICAL NOTES





PREFACE and DISCLAIMER

HERE IN THIS WORK I HAVE MADE A RESEARCH ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE HUMAN BRAIN RESPONDS TO MUSIC.I HERE BY WISH TO CONFIRM YOU THAT THESE ARE MY CONCLUSIONS AND ARE NOT UNIVERSAL. I ALSO WISH TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN IGNORE THIS ARTICLE IF YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF RESENTMENT AND PLEASE DO NOT CLAIM ME FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT DOUBTS WHICH ARISE OUT OF MISUNDERSTANDING THE LITRATURE.THIS IS A PIECE OF WORK DONE BY ME IN MY LEISURE TIME AND IS NOT SO SERIOUS BUT OFF COURSE A LITTLE IMPORTANT.SOMETIMES I WOULD HAVE REACHED THE ZENITH OF CRAPPING IN THIS ARTICLE IF YOU THINK SO DON’T BOTHER ABOUT THAT. THIS IS AN ARTILLE WRITTEN JUST FOR THE PURPOUS OF GIVING AN EDUCATED ENTERTAINMENT.SO HAVE A NICE TIME READING THROUGH.





1. Introduction:

The term “MAKING NEGATIVE THINGS POSITIVE” is well known to the human brain! Let me discuss some of the factors governing with this phrase with regards to a song which I defined as an array of notes. This research work is dedicated to the world of carnatic music.

2. Concept of conversion of negative to positive:

The abstraction of this concept pushes me to analyze mathematically. So let me go with my thoughts to prove the concept.
Any term is converted from a negative value to positive by multiplying with an integer which doesn’t have any effect in it altering its value(except from +ve to -ve)
Example: -45 x (-1) = +45!

But when it comes to human brain the values the approach is different!

3.0 Concept of recognition of an array of notes in human brain:

Do we people know how a human brain reacts when it senses anything?
Most of us us would have known how this happens! The concept of electricity rules even here! yes the human brain produces various levels of currents to each and every different variety of the notes it has sensed! (if I am not wrong!)

The simple explanation of a current-time analysis is explained to understand better:



fig 1 response to relished notes fig 1.1 response to mediocre notes


as seen in this analysis fro fig 1.0 the current produced is reaching a peak and continues in its steady state for a song relished by one. But the case is a damped for a mediocre song, the response would cease to exists at the end.


fig 1.3 response to a peeved notes

In the case of a song which the brain gets irritated to there is produced a reverse current (ir).

this is just the basic analysis of the response of the human brain to different notes!




3.1 The experimental analysis:

To verify this concept lets take an example. Lets say that a person is carnatic freak and doesn’t even like to hear any of the filmy notes. The response of his brain to a song he dislikes to its apex “appadi poodu…poodu”is like the one seen in the figure 1.3.

There is a steady increase of the ir in the negative direction. As the time tends to increase the value of the reverse current tends to follow it in the same manner till he gets peeved to a limit where he does something to stop hearing the song.

3.2 The elements in the response:

We should know that there are different elements associated with the response this man’s brain gave to analyze the situation and come to a conclusion
The basic regions are the rise time, peak value, steady state value and the fall time.
According to the fig 1.3 we may see that the rise time is too steep! the peak value is proportional to the time till a certain period of time! And the fall time is nearly zero, in course of time but not sown in the waveform

4.0 Factors that influence the recognition of a array of notes :

Its surprising to know that some of the factors that are involved in the process of recognizing a set of notes are dependent on the following:

Absolute values of the peak time, absolute value of the rise time, settling time and the human psychology are these factors

4.1 The analysis of these values in our experiment:

The peak time is very high! rise time is also very high! And its difficult the settling time because the brain got peeved so much that it dint forget the notes!


4.2 Role of human psychology:

This plays a very important part in the analysis. Its we human who always do what we are told not to do! Remember what ought not to be! This is the crux of the research!

5.0 The new phenomena:

As we saw that the human brain retains the notes it got peeved off, it contradicts the fact that there is a reverse current produced every time it hears the notes!

This cannot be true as there is a fact that that tell us that a positive current is produced when it relishes a note!

Thus that notes which it got peeved off should have created a positive impact! How is that possible!!!

5.1 The concept of 3-dimension:

This response which was created must have a finite positive value equal to the one that’s created by the relishing note! This is possible only by analyzing in a 3d mode! We introduce an axis called the imaginary axis or the z-axis

Thus the brain would have responded in a manner such that the value of the peak time would be equal to the one which was produced in relishing mode but in the z- axis parallel to it!which means that the brain can remember and

Fig 1.4 the 3d model

Reproduce it at the same speed of reproducing the notes which they are fond of!
This clearly says that a bad piece of music is registered in to the same depth a good piece is! This makes us think!

6.0 conclusions:

Thus by this article I want to convey that the human brain retains the most disliked piece of notes in the same way it registers the notes which is relished by it. Thus even a so called bad song is liked theoretically as much as a good song is.
Then why humans have likes and dislikes? That’s my next research.

Future work:

After a research in this topic I want to know what is the the z-axis also that how does the brain differentiate between the signals in the x,y,z axis. The other arena I want to concentrate is that why carnatic music is liked only by few people?
