6. Classical music can improve visual

attention
It’s not just kids that can benefit from musical training or exposure. Stroke
patients in one small study showed improved visual attention while
listening to classical music.

The study also tried white noise and silence to compare the results, and found
that, like the driving study mentioned earlier, silence resulted in the worst
scores.

Because this study was so small, the conclusions need to be explored further
for validation, but I find it really interesting how music and noise can affect our
other senses and abilities—in this case, vision.
