Recently the scientists have created a technique which can improves the performance of musicians. It is called “neurofeedback”. The scientists collect the objects ` brain activity through sensors attached to the scalp and then transform it to the form of a video game displayed on a screen. The subjects learn to control the game by altering aspects of their brain activity. According to the research, the technique can improve by an average of 17% and some objects are improved by 50%. By the way, it was applied to treat epilepsy, alcoholism, attention deficit and post-traumatic stress disorders.
In my opinion, it is a good try for improving musicians ` performance in a physical way, which was applied to medical fields. Which is controversial is that the idea “ music talent is from the God” has been in people `s mind since music existed. People always think that music is such a sacred thing and musician is also a unique occupation which is different from other jobs. Therefore, people are not like and do not believe that physical could be really helpful and build a connection with music performance. In contrary, I do not agree with this point of view. Nowadays, musicians are involved of societies much more than fifty or sixty years ago. Also, considering using scientific ways to improve music performance is a surging current in the world. I can not determine it is a good way but it is a good try. Human `s history is written by failed tries. If we do not try new ways, we could not evolve. For example, almost everyone hate so-called “new music”, they prefer the “classic music”. But today `s classic music was yesterday `s “new music”! Besides, every great inventions are from thousands times tries. Therefore, I think we should be open to these kinds of new things.
