Yes but why does some music elicit dopamine and some does not? If I just play random notes for you, even if I do it with some sense of rhythm, will your body still produce dopamine?
- mesarvagya 8y agoThe theory of dopamine is that there has to be strong local connections on brain for the activity the person is being kept under. Think of a song that you initially disliked but when you hear the same thing again and again, the neural connections gets stronger. When this happens, brain will release dopamine enabling brain get its reward.
- crazynick4 8y agoI think there is more to it then that. By that argument alone, I should enjoy a song more, the more I listen to it. Then why do we get tired of old music and look for new music?
- noisem4ker 8y agoYou probably start to tolerate a song you don't like better the longer you are exposed to it. Of course, at some point boredom kicks in. You find pleasure both in what sounds familiar (thus harmless, cozy) and in what sounds novel (a new experience, an opportunity for gaining knowledge).
