Let Music Be Your Medicine

The brain generates rhythms naturally. One way to confirm this is to record the brain's electrical activity. This electrical activity results from the passage of ions (particles with positive or negative charge, such as sodium and chloride, the components of salt) across brain cell membranes. EEG (electroencephalography), a painless and harmless technique using wires (electrodes) placed on the scalp to record this activity, has been around for nearly a century. EEG reveals that much of a healthy brain's electrical activity is rhythmic, not random.
