Read the research in context

Articles about music and the brain can raise useful questions, but a headline may leave out who took part, what was measured, or how long a study lasted. Look for the original research and distinguish an observed association from a demonstrated cause.

Use this archive as a starting point for reading. A study about a group does not predict a particular student's results or replace an individual learning plan.
