Pilot Study on Brain Response to Nursery Rhymes: Comparison between a Musician, a Robot, or a Boombox Player
Author(s): Mahsa Soufineyestani, Arshia Khan*, Rana Emtiaz and Yumna Anwar
Music has been known as a powerful tool that can change brain activities. This pilot study aims to investigate the impact of listening to nursery rhymes on brain Waves specifically Alpha and Beta wave activities when music played by a professional musician, a robot called Pepper, and a boom box.

Also, despite the study hypothesis that listening to nursery rhymes may calm individuals, it made some participants restless. .. View more»
