안녕하세요, Davey 입니다. 오늘 Posting 할 TED 강연은 두뇌 능력에 관련된 스피치 입니다. 악기를 다루게 되면 어떻게 두뇌에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 내용입니다. 요즘에는 두뇌 능력 개발된 speech가 더 보이네요.
일단 Title은 How playing an instrument benefits your brain 입니다. 본문 내용은 아래 Link를 참조 하시면 됩니다

일단 서두에, 연주자들이 악기를 들고 연주할 때 그들의 두뇌에서 폭죽이 터지는 것을 알고 있냐 라고 물으면서 시작을 합니다. 겉으로는 차분하게 연주를 하는 것 처럼 보이지만, 머리 속 즉, 두뇌에서는 완전 파티가 열리는 것 처럼 불꽃이 튄다는 애기입니다. 첨단 의료 장치를 써서, 사람들이 음악을 들을 때 검사를 하면 이런 반응이 보이고, 음악을 들은 것에서 멈추지 않고, 연주하는 사람들의 뇌를 관찰해 본 결과 더 많은 자극이 일어나는 것을 찾을 수 있었다는 겁니다. 이에 대해서 어떻게 연구하고 실험했는지를 설명하면서, 마지막에는 그럼 음악을 듣거나 연주하는 사람들에게만 이렇게 두뇌에 많은 자극을 주고, 좋은 영향을 끼치는가에 대한 의문을 던졌고, 그 부분에 대해서는,악기를 연주하는 예술적이고 미적인 부분은 다른 예술 분야와 비교해서, 다르다고만 애기하고, 무작위의 실험을 통해서 알아냈다고 하네요. 그래도 악기를 연주하는 이점을 잘 이용하면 도움이 된다는 마무리를 하고 speech를 끝을 냅니다. 그럼 아래 script 와 words 참조하시면서 TED를 통해서 좋은 정보도 얻고 영어공부도 하세요. 아래 script는 TED 홈페이지 해당 speech의 Transcript 내용 참조하였습니다.
- How playing an instrument benefits your brain script & words
Did you know that every time musicians pick up their instruments, there are fireworks going off all over their brain? On the outside, they may look calm and focused, reading the music and making the precise and practiced movements required. But inside their brains, there's a party going on.
How do we know this? Well, in the last few decades, neuroscientists have made enormous breakthroughs in understanding how our brains work by monitoring them in real time with instruments like fMRI and PET scanners. When people are hooked up to these machines, tasks, such as reading or doing math problems, each have corresponding areas of the brain where activity can be observed. But when researchers got the participants to listen to music, they saw fireworks. Multiple areas of their brains were lighting up at once, as they processed the sound, took it apart to understand elements like melody and rhythm, and then put it all back together into unified musical experience. And our brains do all this work in the split second between when we first hear the music and when our foot starts to tap along.
But when scientists turned from observing the brains of music listeners to those of musicians, the little backyard fireworks became a jubilee. It turns out that while listening to music engages the brain in some pretty interesting activities, playing music is the brain's equivalent of a full-body workout. The neuroscientists saw multiple areas of the brain light up, simultaneously processing different information in intricate, interrelated, and astonishingly fast sequences.

But what is it about making music that sets the brain alight? The research is still fairly new, but neuroscientists have a pretty good idea. Playing a musical instrument engages practically every area of the brain at once, especially the visual, auditory, and motor cortices. As with any other workout, disciplined, structured practice in playing music strengthens those brain functions, allowing us to apply that strength to other activities.

The most obvious difference between listening to music and playing it is that the latter requires fine motor skills, which are controlled in both hemispheres of the brain. It also combines the linguistic and mathematical precision, in which the left hemisphere is more involved, with the novel and creative content that the right excels in. For these reasons, playing music has been found to increase the volume and activity in the brain's corpus callosum, the bridge between the two hemispheres, allowing messages to get across the brain faster and through more diverse routes. This may allow musicians to solve problems more effectively and creatively, in both academic and social settings.

Because making music also involves crafting and understanding its emotional content and message, musicians often have higher levels of executive function, a category of interlinked tasks that includes planning, strategizing, and attention to detail and requires simultaneous analysis of both cognitive and emotional aspects. This ability also has an impact on how our memory systems work. And, indeed, musicians exhibit enhanced memory functions, creating, storing, and retrieving memories more quickly and efficiently. Studies have found that musicians appear to use their highly connected brains to give each memory multiple tags, such as a conceptual tag, an emotional tag, an audio tag, and a contextual tag, like a good Internet search engine.

How do we know that all these benefits are unique to music, as opposed to, say, sports or painting? Or could it be that people who go into music were already smarter to begin with? Neuroscientists have explored these issues, but so far, they have found that the artistic and aesthetic aspects of learning to play a musical instrument are different from any other activity studied, including other arts. And several randomized studies of participants, who showed the same levels of cognitive function and neural processing at the start, found that those who were exposed to a period of music learning showed enhancement in multiple brain areas, compared to the others.

This recent research about the mental benefits of playing music has advanced our understanding of mental function, revealing the inner rhythms and complex interplay that make up the amazing orchestra of our brain.
이상입니다. 문장 자체는 길지 않고, 어렵지는 않은 데 먼가, 정리해서 설명하자니, 신경 써야 될 부분이 한 두군데가 아니네요. 역시 영어를 한국말로 번역해서 표현하는게, 영어를 해석하는 것보다 더 힘든 거 같습니다. 그것도 상대방의 입장에서 말이죠.
그럼 오늘도 수고 하셨고, 한번 만 하지 마시고, 여러번 읽고, 쉐도잉 같은 반복학습 하시면, 분명이 늘겁니다.
오늘도 공부 파이팅하시고, 조금이나마 영어 공부에 도움이 되셨으면 하네요. 감사합니다.
