Mozart's Music Does Not Make You Smarter, Study Finds

For almost fifteen years scientists have thought that listening the classical music enhanced the brain as a child. But researchers Jakob Pietschnig, Martin Voracek and a few others at the University of Vienna have research that this method does not really work. New York Times wrote an article about how listening to Mozart would help students with SAT, and many scientists thougth it would help children, too.

I found this article interesting because iv'e heard from a few people listening to Mozart would help make you smarter, but it seems like thats not the case. the brain does work in weird ways, but apparently ot doesn't respond to music. The study of psychology is so fascinating.
