Have you ever been listening to a song when all of a sudden, your heart skips a beat, the hairs on the backs of your arms stand up, and a piece of you feels as if it has taken flight? If so, you\u2019re not alone. However, according to a new study, individuals who get\u00a0\u201cchills\u201d<\/em>\u00a0when listening to beautiful music are biologically different. As a result, they may even be considered special.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0study\u00a0was led by Matthew Sachs, a graduate student studying the effect of music on the brain at the University of Southern California. For the research, 20 students, 10 of who reported feeling chills while listening to their favorite songs and 10 whom did not, took part.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quartz\u00a0reports that the team of researchers took brain scans of both groups. The students who reported the equivalent of\u00a0\u201cfrission,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0as it is known in the scientific community, were found to have a significantly higher number of neural connections between their auditory cortex, emotional processing centers, and prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is involved in higher-order cognition, such as interpreting a song\u2019s meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sachs himself admits the study was small and that the phenomenon is difficult to research. After all, is not unusual for people to get chills from certain songs because they have unique memories tied to them. To prove more conclusively that people who connect with music are slightly different from a biological perspective, Sachs is conducting follow-up research that involves examining the patterns of activity in people\u2019s brains as they listen to music that induces goosebumps. His hope is to understand more about what\u2019s happening neurologically.<\/span><\/p>\n

From an evolutionary standpoint, chills are a response to cold and danger. Said Sachs,\u00a0\u201cOur hair stands on end, and when we\u2019re threatened, it makes us look larger.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Indeed, this is true. Certain sounds, such as high notes or falsettos, also peak human interest because they sound like a distress signal. On the other hand, when music is played, the brain goes to a\u00a0\u201csafe space\u201d<\/em>and jumps along a scale become pleasurable, rather than worrisome.<\/span><\/p>\n
