An interesting summary of two studies on the influence of music on the brain. And here are the two papers:
Selective Neurophysiologic Responses to Music
Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Musical Performance
And here’s a video on the topic.
- Music’s Power to Educate the Soul
An interesting article.... - MACP Resources Now Availalbe

Hi Scott,
I’m curious how much weight you give to this brain/body (that’s my translation of “neurophysiologic”) research in forming your perspective on music for worship (private or gathered)? Can we consider it reliable just because someone decided to write a paper on it and got it published?
Interesting, yes.
Compelling?
Hey Josh.
Nope; doesn’t really prove anything, I don’t think. Just interesting. The most it proves maybe is that music does have a physiological affect on humans, but I don’t think we can make any value judgments one way or another necessarily based on this data.
Thanks for stopping by!
