Abstract in brief

  • The study confirms that listening to Mozart's music can reduce epileptiform discharges (EDs) in epilepsy patients, especially highlighting differences in how men and women respond to music based on its acoustic properties.
  • Acoustic analysis showed that music with harmonic spectrum, decreasing tempo, and high-frequency components is more effective in reducing EDs, and Mozart's music has these qualities more prominently than Haydn's.
  • The findings suggest that specific musical features could be used as a noninvasive way to help manage epilepsy, emphasizing the potential for tailored musical therapy based on sound qualities.]

Música no disonante c/espectro armónico y tempo decreciente c/partes de alta frecuencia reduciría descargas epileptiformes en hombres; en mujeres, debería ser menos dinámica en términos de volumen, más dominante en la música de Mozart que en la de Haydn https://t.co/jl8CicUWYP
