The Ear-Brain-Heart Connection
The Ear-Brain-Heart Connection
This activity will explore how the ear hears music and transforms a musical sound wave into an electrical signal that can be received by the brain and forwarded to the heart to promote a change in its electrical conductivity or change in our heart rate.
Be prepared to listen and enjoy different genres of music (jazz, gospel, R&B, rap and classical) and record your heart rate.
Our primary question: Can music alone change your resting heart rate?
The playlist is below.

Classical, Jazz, R&B, and Rap (with and without words)
Hypothesis: If music can stimulate changes in the electrical connection between the ear, brain, and heart, then there will be a change in heart rate with each genre of music.
Protocol: You will listen to each song for 30 seconds, take a 15 second heart rate, record your number, then have 30 seconds of rest before starting a new song. You will do this for each song.
Data Calculations: multiply each of your 15 seconds heart rates by 4 to get the 1 minute heart rate.
