Here’s Why Your Brain Prefers Live Music to Prerecorded
You may not have known this, but your brain prefers live music to something prerecorded. And that’s not just my opinion . . . it’s SCIENCE!
A neurosurgeon who goes by “Dr. Nas” on Instagram posted a video explaining why. He said, quote, “Live music will activate entire brain networks involving experiencing pleasure, processing emotions and [re-triggering] memories of the past.
“The bigger the brain experience, especially in the emotional parts of your brain, the more deeply you will be struck or [feeling] immersed in the music.”

But why is live music so much more of a treat? Unpredictability. Quote, “The rhythm, intensity, and speed of notes will be slightly different from what you’d hear on Spotify.
“And your brain loves this because not knowing what is coming next is like a little treat.”
