Passage3主题：music soothes and awes - may help us heal
原文：
Dan Ellsey, 33, was sitting in his wheelchair in a soulless room at TewksburyHospital in Massachusetts, his virtually useless arms and weak torso strappedto the chair for safety.
As wewere introduced, he arched his back, grinned broadly and aimed the power of hisdark brown eyes at me, as if eye contact were his only means of transcendingthe prison of his body.
But itisn’t. In the last few years, Ellsey, who was born with cerebral palsy, hasdiscovered another, almost miraculous way of expressing himself: music. Notjust listening to country and soft-rock, as he has done for years, butcomposing music with a special computerized system called Hyperscore, developedby composer-inventor Tod Machover, professor of music and media and director ofthe Opera of the Future group at the MIT Media Lab.
I stand there, awed, as we listen to Ellsey’s music, which on the computer has anabstract, eerie sound that swells and recedes like ocean waves. As we listen,we watch on the computer screen as the “score” -- colored lines on a graph thatrepresent different instruments -- unfolds before our eyes.
For Ellsey, as for most human beings, music has almost inexplicable power -- torouse armies to battle, soothe babies to sleep, communicate peaks of joy anddepths of sorrow that mere words cannot.
Why evolution would have endowed our brains with the neural machinery to make music is amystery. “It’s unclear why humans are so uniquely sensitive to music.Certainly, music shares many features with spoken language, and our brains areparticularly developed to process the rapid tones and segments of sound thatare common to both,” said neurologist and author Dr. Oliver Sacks, whose latestbook is “Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain.”
Some researchers, he added in an e-mail interview, think that in primitive cultures,music and speech were not distinct. Other researchers debate which came firstin evolution, speech or song.
What is clear is that the brain is abundantly wired to process music. Scientists at theMontreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, for instance, have found dramaticevidence on brain scans that the “chills,” or visceral feelings of awe, thatpeople report about listening to their favorite music are real. Music that aperson likes, but not music that is disliked, activates the higher thinkingcenters in the brain’s cortex and -- perhaps more importantly -- the “ancientcircuitry, the motivation and reward system,” said experimental psychologist Robert Zatorre, a member of the Montreal team.
This ancient part of the brain also governs basic drives such as hunger, thirst andsex, suggesting that the brain may consider music on a par with them.
Music has the power not just to awe but also to heal. If a person has a stroke on theleft side of the brain, where the speech centers in most people are, that“wipes out a major part of communication,” said Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, chief of the cerebrovascular disorder division and Stroke Recovery Laboratory at BethIsrael Deaconess Medical Center. But if the right side, where a lot of music isprocessed, is intact, some stroke patients can use “melodic intonationtherapy,” which involves singing using two tones (relatively close in pitch) to communicate.
Schlaug’s research suggests that with intensive therapy, some patients can even move fromthis two-tone singing back to actual speech.
Stroke patients with gait problems also profit from music therapy. At the Center forBiomedical Research in Music at Colora do State University in Fort Collins,director Michael Thaut and his team have shown that people who are partiallyparalyzed on one side can be retrained to walk faster and in a more coordinatedway if they practice walking rhythmically, cued by music or a metronome.Combining rhythmic training with physical therapy also helps stroke patients recover gait faster, he said in an e-mail.
“Music helps us organize our movement,” said Kathleen Howland, a music therapist whoteaches at Lesley University in Cambridge. In fact, researchers have found thatauditory signals are more powerful than visual signals in coordinating movementin healthy people.
A number of studies show that music therapy can reduce pain, such as a 2001 study onburn patients, whose burns must be frequently scraped to reduce dead tissue.Patients undergoing colonoscopy also seem to feel less pain and need fewersedative drugs if they listen to music during the procedure, according toseveral studies.
But not all studies have been so clear-cut. A 2007 review by the CochraneCollaboration, a nonprofit, international organization that evaluates medicalresearch, pooled data from 51 pain studies and concluded that althoughlistening to music can reduce the intensity of pain and the need for narcoticdrugs, the benefit, overall, was small.
Music therapy may improve mental state and functioning in people with schizophreniaand communication in children with autistic spectrum disorders, according toCochrane reviews.
Babies,as any parent knows, clearly respond to music. Premature infants who listen tolullabies learn to suck better and gain more weight than those who don’t getmusic therapy.
Deforia Lane, director of music therapy at the University Hospitals Ireland CancerCenter in Cleveland, has found an improvement in immune response amonghospitalized children who played, sang and created music compared with childrenwho did not get music therapy.
Indeed,the list of potential benefits from music therapy seems long (check outwww.musictherapy.org, the website of the American Music Therapy Assn.). And forpeople such as Ellsey, the benefits can be nothing short of liberating.
As thesound of Ellsey’s music faded away the other day, I asked him what message hewould like to tell people through his music. He tapped out his answerpainstakingly, using a laser device on his forehead to highlight pictures andletters on his computer.
“I amsmart,” he wrote, arching his back, eyes alight. “I have a good personality.”And, he tapped: “I am a musician.”
