Brain Beats: Rhythm and the Human Brain | Aditi Sharma | TEDxVCU

"From an evolutionary point of view, music doesn’t seem to make sense. Unlike sex or food, it did nothing to help our distant ancestors survive and reproduce. Yet music and its effects are in powerful evidence across virtually all cultures, so it must satisfy some sort of universal need — often in ways we can not begin to fathom. Research has shown that the songs that triggered the strongest response from both the emotional and intellectual parts of the brain suggests that people get not just a sensory reward from listening to music, but a direct intellectual one too — even if they’re not aware of it. The nature of that reward has to do with pattern recognition and prediction. As an unfamiliar piece unfolds in time, the brain predict how it will continue to unfold." Aditi Sharma is a fourth year medical student at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. She received a bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego. Prior to joining medical school, she worked at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) researching viral immunity. In addition, she worked at the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure improved access, quality and use of safe and appropriate medical devices. Following the WHO, Aditi worked at the Center for Disease Dynamics, and Economics & Policy in New Delhi, India and was involved in the Disease Control Priorities Project as well as the analysis of antimicrobial resistance. During medical school, Aditi received the VCU Global Health Award in support of her research on the costs of delaying care and extending lengths of stay for trauma patients at University Teaching Hospital in Kigali, Rwanda. Outside of school, Aditi has been playing the tabla (Indian Drums) for 20 years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
