That's so universal, isn't it? I was doing some work with Brunel University recently on something called rhythmic entrainment, and I find this area of research incredibly fascinating.
Helen BattelleyGUEST
23:37
Rhythmic entrainment is when your internal body rhythms react and respond to the external sound of music.
Helen BattelleyGUEST
23:45
Some people might call it dance, but it's not that... extensive, it's actually more simple and more basic than that in the rudimentary terms.
Helen BattelleyGUEST
24:31
so incredible to draw on and it's connected to that time in utero when we heard our mother's constant sound of her heartbeat and that's where that rhythmic entrainment is connected
Ashley ParkerHOST
24:41
I do think that's really interesting because I think there's some people who as soon as they hear music and I probably count myself in this I can't help but tap or move or whatever but I do think other people perhaps don't have that as much do you think that's on a bit of a sliding scale is some people more I don't want to say better at it but
Helen BattelleyGUEST
24:58
yeah more prone to it than other people Well, actually, Brunel University find music that creates the highest levels.
Helen BattelleyGUEST
25:06
So it depends on the tempo, the timbre, different beats per minute as well to connect with the same beats of the heartbeat, of a resting heartbeat, etc., or an excitable heartbeat.

So my name is Eliza and I work at Brunel University and I'm here with my friend from Poland and we do research on unpaid care labor.
ElizaUNKNOWN
