why humans like music
In: 12
The last thing I read on the subject suggested it is rooted in our brain’s optimization towards pattern recognition. Basically pattern recognition is really important to our brains and so is being right, it’s a big survival factor. Music let’s you sit there and be right over and over again for a bit as you bob along to the beat.
It gets into other things, too. The language center which we like using, social experience when listening in a group and dancing, memories with strong emotional associations, it hits a lot of buttons all at once.
