Unfamiliar Music May Help People Chat at Parties

If you want your guests to be particularly sociable at an upcoming party, make sure you play music they probably haven’t heard before.

To explore how background music affects the way we 1 conversations, researchers Jane Brown and Gavin Bidelman conducted a study analyzing the brain activity of 31 individuals aged21 and 33. During the experiment, participants listened to 72 minutes of an audiobook (有声读物), which the pair used as a replacement for 2 on someone talking, while background music was accompanied by the audiobook for most of the time.

For half of the experiment, the participants were asked to focus on2-minute parts of an unfamiliar audiobook read by a man. The rest of the time, they were told to focus on four background songs, which were similarly 3 for2 minutes at a time. This 4 in voices aimed to assess participants’ ability to shift attention between two distinctly different voices.

During the experiment, all the participants wore 5 caps to monitor the electrical activity taking place in their brains. This 6 of electrical activity was the key. It allowed Brown and Bidelman to discover how efficiently these individuals could focus on either the audiobook or the music when 7 to do so. The finding revealed that the participants could 8 turn their attention to the audiobook if the background music was unfamiliar to them.

Following the task, the participants completed a music perception survey evaluating their musical skills, such as the capacity to 9 whether a pair of similar-sounding tunes are the same. Notably, those with lower musical scores demonstrated slower attentional shifts between songs and audiobooks, suggesting a(n) 10 link between musical ability and attention management skills.

In the case of Stendhal syndrome, however, this feeling is so 2 that a person can experience a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sweating, or fainting. It may even require hospitalization. In the Italian city of Florence, numerous visitors viewing the 3 Renaissance art there have experienced this and have required medical 4 Though not professionally recognized, this condition— now 5 to as Stendhal syndrome —does exist.

While great art is found in every civilization, Florence has been especially 6 A small city with a historical center, it is internationally admired for its amazing 7 of Renaissance art. Florence in the 15th and 16th centuries attracted the talent of many geniuses: artists, scientists, and authors were welcomed here. Some of the greatest Western works of art can be found in Florence, such as the statue of David by Michelangelo, The Birth of Venus by Botticelli, and the frescoes（壁画）by Giotto in the Basilica of Santa Croce. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci left works here. Galileo Galilei and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried here.

The syndrome is named after Stendhal, a French author who visited Florence in 1817. He described his experience of being fascinated by the historic and artistic power of the city in one of his books. Though the term Stendhal syndrome was not 8 until 1979 by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini, the illness had already had a long history. Patients usually recover within days of their attacks without any 9 drug other than rest and quiet. For them, the 10 of viewing the power and beauty of Florence is a brief trip to a hospital.
