    Why does music make us want to dance? Why do we move to music? Why does music move us? At one time or another you've probably wondered about this, or you've at least experienced the urge to move when you hear music. Turns out that tapping your feet to music might be hardwired into us, and it can be explained by looking at neuroscience!

      @@TommoCarroll Unfortunately, no, I couldn't find any specific articles or videos on the topic. And I've looked. I just remember because another British CZcamsr I support on Patreon, Name Explain, had two of his videos locked a private for "deceptive tags" and he had no idea what was going on and could get no help from CZcams: czcams.com/video/P1lo3QVHJ4U/video.html In the comments, someone suggested that it had to do with listing his patrons in the description. Then after it happened to another one of his videos, he told his patrons in an update that he was going to have to remove the rewards tier that said "get your name listed in the description!". Sure enough, he has never had this issue again since then.

    • @iDunnoMC
      @iDunnoMC Před 5 lety +1

      @AspectScience
      I have an explanation, so there are a lot of videos on CZcams that put 10 to 100 words and names in the description of the video with addition to tags and CZcams decided that this was spam and only tags were the correct and allowed way to do this. The tag spam doesn't describe the video most of the time, it actually got to the point i saw a video about reddit with 4chan 9 times and 23 different unrelated topics. It has been taken down. CZcams probably said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!' and programmed the bots to find spam and remove videos with spam. Now having a lot of words in an isolated area in the description that doesn't make a sentence counts as spam to the bot and puts the video in the risk of being taken video down. You can tackle this by making a sentence or maybe say their name at the end of their video like Marshall Does Stuff who makes a song with the names.

      My personal favourite is the ‘pterodactyl’ dance move. It’s niche, but effective.

    This is great stuff, as always! The related question I've always had is: Why is it that some sounds that are so pleasing to us, while others are so awful and physically irritating? What is it about a beautiful piano piece, or symphony, that makes it "beautiful?" And why, when I sit down and bang on my piano, does it sound so "terrible?"
    I've always figured it had something to do with the math and the arrangements involved in music, and something about how our brains find it to be pleasing when it follows a defined pattern, or when the sine waves from the various sounds themselves are complementary rather than discordant - but that's all just a completely uninformed guess! That could be a cool follow-on video! Keep making awesome content, man - really love your stuff!

    I don't think the activation of movement-related areas of the brain is a cause but rather the effect of "having to move on the beat". We have learned as a society that it's fun and somewhat normal to move to music. Hence, our brain learns to link both areas. The study should've done these experiments on babies, people who hate dancing or people who don't like music all too much. The examples you stated at the end of the video is the same thing I think: we weren't born loving moving to the beat, we learned it. The question then is: what *is* the cause? I dunno. Jammin' is still dope though. That's something I do know.
    Disclamer: I'm not a neuroscientist and haven't read the studie(s).

      Mattias Niels hey! Thanks for taking the time to write that thoughtful comment! It’s definitely interesting questions you pose, and their are some semi-answers for you! So first off, there is strong evidence that babies have an innate ability and tendency to move to a beat and in synchrony with a beat, so it’s likely an tragedy we have built into is, but it is thought that life/society reinforces those abilities/tendencies! Also the cause vs result questions is always fascinating! But the question you should consider is _why_ we enjoy dancing to a beat. Our brains have a reward pathway in response to dance, which really suggests there’s an adaptive/general advantage to it!

    I just want to add one more point: Dancing without music happens a lot in animals, mostly to show off to the ladies.
    It might just have started as a way to move in beautiful ways in order to look sexy. Add to that the human need to communicate, the way we infer meaning from everything and our sense for rhythm and music, and we end up with dancing as we know it today.

    @elzo_smid Před 4 lety +1

    Why we move to music is a very interesting question indeed. But i do not believe it has to do with mirrir neurons, because we move even to sounds of which we have no idea how they are made and which movement goes with it. Someone in the middle of the Amazon forest can dance to a clarinet without having any idea what it is.
    Lets get back to a time before complex music insturments, before electricity and all that. This is a time when every sound was important and many sounds required action. Wether it is the sound of flowing water, the rustle of leaves, the cry of a baby or the annoyed souns of the hewad of the tribe... Especially sudden sounds needed action, usually juming up from a sitting position or prepairing to run wshen in a standing position. These reflexes are what makes us move to modern sounds, to music. At the same time we do know that there is no danger, so there is a release of positive hormones (similar to when your lover tickles you or bites your ear). Dancing is a reapeated reflex to sound that used to be important. [sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language].

    A little anecdote: I was never really someone that enjoyed music in the traditional sense. I listened to it when other people did, but I never went out of my way to listen to music; I absolutely never danced, not even in private. After I got convinced to learn how to play the guitar I found a new appreciation for music. I actually go out of my way to click on music videos that are recommended to me by CZcams, and even get chills when I hear certain songs, even though I never did before. Still don't dance, but I at least move to music now. Bob my head, tap my feet, etc.
    Something else I was thinking about: Perhaps the synchrony of human movement is influenced by our hunter/gatherer past? Synchronous, complex hunting techniques could have been guided by the rhythmic patterns of human speech, though this is only a thought, and I have no evidence to back it up haha.

    • @TommoCarroll
      @TommoCarroll  Před 5 lety +1

      Natthone Cole that’s a really interesting anecdote, thanks for sharing! I wonder if the fact that you started to directly engage with music had some impact on your brain’s internal wiring. The brain is pretty plastic so I wouldn’t be surprised if some research out there could back up/look into this idea!
      And yeah, that’s actually another theory - or at least another thought that people have; that our desire for synchrony could have been to do with speech/hunter gatherer communities. But then the question is did our desire for synchrony come from that or _cause_ that? All so fascinating!

They train our body and teach us how to defend ourselfes.

    The social aspects are surely important for humans but the fact that there seems to be exactly one class of animals that _can_ synchronize their movements to music -- so called vocal mimics -- and more importantly the fact that they _will_ do this spontaneously and voluntarily when exposed to human music, even though none of these species themselves have any culture of music of their own, points to the incredibly fascinating fact that there is something inherent in this vocal mimic ability that leads animals to behave this way and to apparently find pleasure in movement that is synchronized with a regular auditory stimulus. In other words, all animals that can dance, like to dance. And all animals that can dance are vocal mimics. Interestingly, they do not share a common ancestor that was also a vocal mimic. Far from it in fact. There are bird and mammal vocal mimics and their entire higher brain development happened completely independently from each other.
    Call me biased, but I find this much more fascinating and noteworthy than the fact that something that a species likes will be co-opted for their social bonding.
