The Mozart effect refers to disputed scientific studies that test a theory suggesting that classical music increases brain activity more positively than other kinds of music, and that listening to certain kinds of complex music may induce a short-lived (fifteen minute) improvement in the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as “spatio-temporal reasoning”. Two pieces of Mozart’s music; Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major and Piano Concerto No. 23, were found to have this effect, giving it its name. Later research also suggested that K. 448 can reduce the number of seizures in people with epilepsy. Apart from K. 448, the composition “Acroyali/Standing in Motion” by Greek composer Yanni was also found to have the effect.

Researcher:

Alfred A. Tomatis

The concept of the “Mozart effect” was described by French researcher, Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in his 1991 book Pourquoi Mozart?, which explored the broad applicability of Mozart; in particular, in achieving results in Tomatis’ thirty years of work with primarily learning disabled children.

Hope this helps ya ; )
