Ever wondered what are the impacts of flow inducing performances on a musician's brain? We investigated this in a new study. Check the following for a lay summary. gold.ac.uk/news/flow-in-musi…

Study reveals brain benefits of being “in the zone”

Goldsmiths researchers have found that musicians experience positive changes in their brain responses after they are “in the zone” or in a state of flow.

Linking flexibility of brain networks to cognitive development in preschool children

Recent studies of functional connectivity networks (FCNs) suggest that the reconfiguration of brain network across time, both at rest and during task, is linked with cognition in human adults. In...
