“…Analyzing the results of musical tasks in the parallel study, there was a high degree of concordance in the two sets of findings (experiment 1 and 2). Although not everyone experiences intense emotional responses to music and previous studies vary in the reported rates of these reactions [51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58], we think the music results corroborate the prediction of the hypothesis, that is, the adolescent central processing is different from adult processing, involving a dysfunction in the achievement of emotional and intellectual maturity. Adolescents frequently processes cognitive and emotional tasks paradoxically.…”

“…In both cases, the authors asked for volunteers who believed themselves to be "deep listeners" -that is, who had very strong emotional responses, including perhaps tears and chills, to the music they love. (See Goldstein, 1980;Panksepp, 1995;Grewe et al, 2005). The people who responded to the requests were therefore mainly music students and professors, and all self-rated their response to music in the questionnaire as "very emotional.…”

Empirical Musicology Review

The aim of this study is to begin to provide an explanation for the worldwide linkage of music and ecstatic religious ceremonies. The basic hypothesis is that the physiological ability to respond to musical stimuli with strong emotional responses is one of the pre-conditions for the propulsion into ecstasy. A second hypothesis is that a sub-set of the music-loving community, the "deep listeners" who are profoundly moved (chills, tears) by musical listening will have emotional reactions similar to those of religious ecstatics. 60 participants, divided into five groups, were tested using galvanic skin response and heart rate measurements. The results seem to support the hypotheses by demonstrating 1) a correlation between being a religious ecstatic and having a strong GSR while listening to favorite music, in comparison with control groups, and 2) a correlation between being a secular "deep listener" and having a similarly strong GSR listening to favorite music, in comparison with control groups.

“…If music induces similar physiological effects in musicians and nonmusicians, standard "music therapeutic" interventions would be possible. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify effects of music under different conditions [5,6]. Is the music written by Bach or Mozart helpful for everybody?…”

“…Music expresses what cannot be spoken and what is impossible to remain silent about -Victor Hugo (1802-1885) [5] In recent years, music has been increasingly used as a therapeutic tool in the treatment of different diseases [6][7][8]. However, the physiological basis of music therapy is not well understood even in normal subjects [9].…”

Music is considered as an universal language and has influences the human existence at various levels.In recent years music therapy has evolved as a challenge of research with a clinical approach involving science and art. Music therapy has been used for various therapeutic reasons like Alzheimer's disease,Hypertension and mental disorders to name a few. We conducted a study to establish the effect of the classical ragam Anandhabhairavi on post operative pain relief. A randomized controlled study involving 60 patients who were to undergo surgery was conducted at PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research,Coimbatore.30 patients selected at random and were exposed to the ragam Anandhabhairavi which was played in their room pre operatively (from the day they got admitted for surgery) and 3 days post operatively. The control group did not listen to the music during their stay in the hospital. An observation chart was attached in which the requirement of analgesics by the patient was recorded. On completion of the study and on analysis,the ragam Anandhabhairavi had a significant effect in post operative pain management which was evidenced by the reduction in analgesic requirement by 50 % in those who listened to the ragam.A significant p value of <0.001 was obtained.
