The Effect of Different Music Styles on the Brain

The purpose of this study is to investigate how different genres of music affect our performance on cognitively demanding tasks. In the study, participants will listen to brief selections of music while performing a visual task. The ultimate goals of this experiment are to (1) better understand how popular music today may affect cognitive performance and (2) add nuance and diversity to the field cognitive psychology by exploring genres beyond classical music.
