Mind-enhancing music can result in efficient studying

The time has come to study for finals. But you’re having trou­ble finding the focus you need to begin studying. Or maybe you’re still sleep-deprived from the weekend and need something to help you feel ener­gized.

                  You’ve been binge-drinking coffee and chugging five-hour energy drinks, but nothing seems to be working.

                  Feeling more attentive and concentrated on studying can be as easy as picking up your iPod.

                  A Stanford University School of Medicine study in 2007 found that music engages the parts of the brain related to paying attention, making predictions and updating the event in memory.

                  The study’s researchers had participants listen to short sympho­nies by an obscure 18th-century com­poser.
