Epilepsy; can the 'Mozart effect' treat certain strains?!


Question: Research is showing that Mozart may reduce brain activity involved in epilepsy, with a study finding that 23 of 29 patients had a drop in the kind of brain activity (the aura, no less) that is followed by a seizure. In one case, this activity dropped by more than 60 per cent while the patient was in a coma. One theory is that the effects may be due to the repetitiveness of melody and periodicity
