Discover the fetuses’ reaction whith some musics
Following the study using Bach’s music for flute, Institut Marquès is continuing research with other types of music and sounds, with results that vary widely.
At this moment we are analysing the response by the percentage of fetuses that move their mouth and tongue, and those who specifically stick out their tongue in response to each type of music.
We have tried many different types of music throughout the study, updating the results weekly, and we continue to look into which rhythms and melodies are the most stimulating and why.
Universal Music has been collaborating with our research group in R&D&I, and has permitted us to use their files. In connection with this, the company’s collaborators have suggested sounds and segmented the fragments from which we have obtained more results in order to analyse the specific characteristics of these melodies.
In this graph you can see some of the results and listen to the fragment of music:
