Do you ever find it hard to get into the study zone?
Listening to music can be a powerful tool to support you to find your study rhythm, boost your concentration and further increase memory retention.
A 2011 study by researchers from McGill University in Canada found that listening to music increases the amount of dopamine produced in the brain – a mood-enhancing chemical. This increase in dopamine can support the brain to boost its cognitive function. Another study by Florida National University revealed that music maximises learning and improves memory as it activates both the left and right brain at the same time.
So next time you're hitting the books to study, consider listening to some relaxing music in the background. Find our top five study playlists below:
