Music can help enhance our creativity. I find that certain music helps me write better, and it makes me enjoy the task more. There have been many studies done on this, and while they contradict each other about what type of music is “best,” one thing is largely agreed upon: music impacts higher brain functioning, a key component to creativity. The important thing seems to be that it’s not really a specific type of music that works best, just a type of music the listener likes. And that it remains in the background as ambient noise, otherwise it will interfere with our thinking process.
