Abstract

While the human brain is hardwired to feel pleasure for basic survival necessities, such as eating and sex, music-although obviously pleasurable-doesn't offer the same evolutionary advantages. So why do we respond to patterns of sounds that disappear in an instant? Why do we belt music from the top of our lungs, learn to play instruments, and empty our bank accounts to see Bruce Springsteen on Broadway? Our author offers some valuable insights.

为什么我们喜欢音乐?
虽然人类的大脑天生就对基本的生存必需品(如饮食和性生活)感到愉悦,但音乐虽然明显令人愉悦,但并没有提供同样的进化优势。那么,为什么我们会对瞬间消失的声音模式做出反应呢?为什么我们要声嘶力竭地演奏音乐,学习乐器,清空银行账户去百老汇看布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀?我们的作者提供了一些有价值的见解。
