Scientists have conducted a study from Harvard University that proves music is a universal language, understood by people across different cultures based on emotions and intentions rather than words.
Despite cultural differences, many cultures use similar tools in music such as rhythms, scales, and melodies that tap into a shared human experience of sound perception.
Brain scans show that listening to music lights up similar areas in the brain for people worldwide, activating emotions, memory, and reward responses, revealing a common human response to melodies.
The research confirms that music is not just entertainment but a way of expressing emotions and connecting people beyond geographical and linguistic barriers.
