"The brains of people with epilepsy appear to react to music differently from the brains of those who do not have the disorder, a finding that could lead to new therapies to prevent seizures, according to new research"

caeli:

This is really interesting! I really don't understand why the author of this short article wouldn't actually discuss epilepsy treatments though. Do we have evidence that epileptic seizures are less frequent during times of higher neural synchronization? Because if not, this finding doesn't actually lead to the possibility of new treatments.

Tangent:

    The researchers found significantly higher levels of brainwave activity in participants when they were listening to music.

lol can we just appreciate how whoever wrote this thinks we can tell whether there is 'higher' activity based on amplitude of oscillations
