Did you know that every time musicians pick up their instruments, there are fireworks going off all over their brain?

음악가들이 그들의 악기를 연주할 때, 그들의 뇌 곳곳에서 불꽃이 터진다는 사실을 알고 있습니까?
pick up : (무엇을) 집다, 연주하다

보통 pick up 하면 무엇을 집다 혹은 누군가를 태우다 이런 뜻만 알았는데, 여기서는 음악가들이 그들의 악기를 드는 거니까 ‘연주하다’는 뜻으로 사용됐습니다. 근데 그것도 기타나 바이올린처럼 실제로 들 수 있는 것에만 해당된다고 합니다.

go off : 자리를 뜨다, 하러 가다, 발사되다
go off는 ‘자리를 뜨다’, ‘어디론가 가다’ 정도의 의미만 알았습니다. 하지만 “gun goes off.”처럼 총알이 ‘발사되다’ 혹은 ‘터지다’의 의미로 사용됐습니다. 이밖에도 “go off to trip”처럼 ‘탐사하다’의 의미가 있습니다. 이럴 때는 explore와 뜻이 통한다고 합니다.

 

When people are hooked up to these machines, tasks, such as reading or doing math problems, each have corresponding areas of the brain where activity can be observed.

사람들이 이러한 기계나 읽기 혹은 수학 문제를 푸는 것과 같은 과제들에 연결될 때, 각각의 것은 활동을 목격할 수 있는 뇌에 상응하는 영역을 가지고 있습니다.

hook up : 연결하다, 접속하다
  1. cf) Computer hooks up to the charger.


기계에 배터리를 연결한다와 같이 무엇을 무엇과 연결하거나 접속하는 뜻입니다.

 

Because making music also involves crafting and understanding its emotional content and message, musicians often have higher levels of executive function, a category of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategizing, and attention to detail and requires simultaneous analysis of both cognitive and emotional aspects.

왜냐하면 음악을 만드는 것은 또한 기교와 감정적 내용과 메시지를 포함하기 때문에, 음악가들은 종종 높은 수준의 실행기능을 가지고 있습니다. 그 실행기능이란 계획을 세우고, 전략을 짜는 것을 포함한 업무를 연결하는 항목을 말합니다. 그리고 음악가들은 세밀한 것에 주의를 기울이고 인지적인 부분과 감정적인 부분 양쪽을 동시에 분석합니다.
craft : 기교, 공예

creat와 같이 ‘무엇을 만들다’, ‘창조하다’의 뜻을 가지고 있지만, 좀 더 손으로 하는 느낌이 있습니다. 에밀리는 이걸 “make it by hand”로 설명해줬습니다.

executive function : 실행기능

에밀리가 ADHD에 대해 이렇게 설명해줬습니다. “ADHD is executive function disordered.”

 

summary&comment

음악을 연주하는 것은 뇌의 다양한 영역을 사용하고, 발달시킨다. 음악을 연주하는 동안 뇌를 살펴보면, 몸 전체를 사용하는 것과 비슷하게 뇌가 사용된다. 여러 예술활동을 하는 동안 뇌를 비교하는 실험을 했는데, 거기서도 음악을 연주할 때 가장 뇌가 활성화돼있었다.
Playing music develop and strengthen multiple area of brain. Take a look during playing music, it equals to any other full-body workout. There is a experiment which compare with many art activities, it activate to play music other than.
이 비디오는 뇌를 인체의 중심으로 보고, 음악을 연주하는 것이 뇌를 발달시키는 데 있어서 특권적인 위치를 차지하는 것처럼 그리고 있는 것 같다. 후반부에서는 음악연주가 다른 예술활동보다 뇌를 발달시킨다고 하는데, 편향된 연구결과인 것 같다. 사람마다 좋아하는 게 다르기 때문에 뇌가 반응하는 것도 다르다. 음악연주보다 체스를 더 좋아하는 사람에겐 체스를 둘 때 더 반응하는 무엇이 있지 않을까? 악기를 익히는 일이 조기영재교육에 필수적인 거라고 권유하는 것처럼 들린다.
어렸을 때부터 여러 악기를 익혔지만, 딱히 뇌 용량이 증가했는지는 모르겠다. 다만 연주하다 보면 벅차오르는 게 있다. 그것을 여기서는 ‘불꽃’으로 표현했는데, 음, 어쨌든 어떤 기분 좋음이 느껴지는 순간이 있다. 특히 사물놀이할 때가 그랬던 것 같다. 이질적인 소리가 어우러지고, 호흡이 맞는 걸 경험하는 것은 꽤나 기분이 좋다.

This video consider brain is center of body and locates that to play music is privileged for developing brain’s ability. And Playing music is better than other art activities to develop music at the latter of video, I think it is so prejudiced. Because people likes something along their based on, results will also different. Is there something any difference result for a person who likes chess more than playing music? This video seems to suggest playing music is essential for early gift talented education.
Play several instruments from childhood, I don’t know brain capacity has increased. But there is something such as filling with emotion during playing music. Video says that ‘firework’, um, anyway there is a some feeling good. Especially samulnori is. It is quite pleasant to experience foreign sounds getting together and breathing together.

 

저는 이 부분을 외우겠습니다.

This may allow musicians to solve problems more effectively and creatively, in both academic and social settings. Because making music also involves crafting and understanding its emotional content and message, musicians often have higher levels of executive function, a category of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategizing, and attention to detail and requires simultaneous analysis of both cognitive and emotional aspects. This ability also has an impact on how our memory systems work. And, indeed, musicians exhibit enhanced memory functions, creating, storing, and retrieving memories more quickly and efficiently. Studies have found that musicians appear to use their highly connected brains to give each memory multiple tags, such as a conceptual tag, an emotional tag, an audio tag, and a contextual tag, like a good Internet search engine.

    사람들이 이러한 기계나 읽기 혹은 수학 문제를 푸는 것과 같은 과제들에 연결될 때, 각각의 것은 활동을 목격할 수 있는 뇌에 상응하는 영역을 가지고 있습니다. -> 각각의 활동을 담당하는 뇌 영역이 있습니다.

    ADHD is executive function disordered. -> ADHD is a type of executive function disorder.

    Playing music develop and strengthen multiple area of brain. Take a look during playing music, it equals to any other full-body workout. There is a experiment which compare with many art activities, it activate to play music other than. -> Playing musical instruments develops and strengthen multiple areas of the brain. The brain parts stimulated when playing an instrument and when doing a full-body workout are the same. A further experiment went on to compare with other artistic activities, and it was music which activated the brain the most.

    This video consider brain is center of body and locates that to play music is privileged for developing brain’s ability. And Playing music is better than other art activities to develop music at the latter of video, I think it is so prejudiced. -> This video says that the brain is the center of the body and describes that playing music is the most useful to develop its activity. I think it is a kind of prejudice to conclude that musical activity is better than any other art activities in terms of the brain development.

    Because people likes something along their based on, results will also different. Is there something any difference result for a person who likes chess more than playing music? This video seems to suggest playing music is essential for early gift talented education. -> People like different activities, so their brains react differently. I think there could be some different result for a person who like to play chess more than music. This video seems to advertise to play music by saying it is essential for education of gifted children.

    Play several instruments from childhood, I don’t know brain capacity has increased. -> I have played several musical instruments from childhood, but I don't really know my brain capacity has been improved.

    But there is something such as filling with emotion during playing music. -> But there is something that fill my heart when I play.

    Video says that ‘firework’, um, anyway there is a some feeling good. Especially samulnori is. -> The video calls that as 'firework'; there is a moment that feels good. When I play Samulnori, especially.

    It is quite pleasant to experience foreign sounds getting together and breathing together. -> It is quite pleasant to hear different sounds mingling and breathing together.
