Four four common time replicates the heartbeat and natural bodily rhythms but that does not really explain why music can so successfully alter emotional state in the listener. I think it is not really known why other than music connects with and is readily understood by organic brains, not just human in a very intimate way. For example a five minute piece of classical music is informationally very complex but a person is often able to hum it back after a single hearing and do so again years later. Repeating verbatim a five minute speech listened to is beyond most people and so it might be suspected that music is more native to the brain than is language.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•One of the most popular movies in theatres right now is about an illegal alien
6·8 months agoSpineless ICE hiding behind their masks and just following orders would be the ideal force to arrest him.
I think honestly that is the most likely answer to why aliens have not visited, they just are not interested.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When my phone is spying on me, how does it distinguish between real voices and tv voices?
83·8 months agoVoices or any sound on TV or radio are broadcast with a subaudible identifying channel which pips the programme title and production date in a tight asymmetric closed loop. Your phone can read this and so separate it out from actual spoken voices in the room. An organic spoken voice will produce phlegmatic outflow during natural conversation that can mimic this pipping giving your date of birth and street location but most modern phones can detect and discount it but will record it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Feet are as expressive as the face. Moreso because they are uncorrupted by intelligence.
19·9 months agoWell no, expression is precisely a function of intelligence and the face has evolved specifically to pass non-verbal signals of that sort whereas the feet have not. However, I know whereof you speak and me and your mum are worried about you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What will the world be like in 10 years?
7·9 months agoAI will have been added to everything, even cardboard and there will be nothing left but to add more AI to AI.
But this can be generalised to if anything was as hard as the hardest time we did it we would do it less. No need to single eggs out, they are just eggs, just innocent eggs.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I cheated. Wife forgave me. How to reearn trust?
91·10 months agoShe likely has not forgiven you, she is saying those words so she does not have to deal with the consequences of your actions now, but can choose her own time. The only real way to go on permanently with someone who has cheated is to stop thinking anything of them. If they cheat again it doesn’t matter, they mean nothing to you.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you have a thread 9.6trillion millimeter in length, you can circle the earth with it for about 239.5 times.
6·11 months agoThis isn’t a shower thought it’s a shower fact, assuming the maths is accurate. It is the same as defining as a thought as the idea that when you heat water its temperature increases.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I feel like Tobey Maguire (from Spider-Man) and Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) could be really good friends. They seem like a good match. I hope they meet.
51·11 months agoDid your various analyses on the plural of nemesis avoid an entire series of crises.
One thing I meant to add but forgot is the best way I can think to explain the effects of music in our minds and our ability to recall long sequences of notes is that human composed music is telling us a story that our brains already know.
