And when finally hits that chorus, you know that you'll never stop believing. We have chills — do you have chills? If so, you might have a very special kind of brain. A Sensory Superpower As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those don't experience those feelings. First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion. More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions. A Feeling of Frisson This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a . The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and 's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since was first described. That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior. One report from 2007 found that individuals experience frisson are more open new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.  "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this.

When asked the theoretical questions, if you had to choose about loosing the sense of sight or the sense of sound. I would choose to loose sight. I would hate to loose my sense of sound. Music is my salvation. I have worked in a recording studio and have been involved with music since 1964. The second sense I would have a hard time loosing would be touch. "Men need to hunt.
