Music helps you focus on your own thoughts, but only if you like it - The Washington Post

So there is a part of the brain called the DMN that apparently doesn't work entirely normally in people with sz----it helps you focus on either inner or outer things that are occuring. Anyway these guys didn't study sz but rather people's response to a favorite or well liked song. It helps activate the DMN area. It's interesting because I've listened to music more or less constantly over the last 3 years since getting sick and I feel it helps me immensely.

Do you guys feel like music helps you?
