Research has shown that listening to music can increase the release of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in motivation and reward.

Some music has also been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Other music can increase mental arousal, which can improve cognitive performance.
