Even though science continues to make discoveries about the human brain, there is still much that is unknown. While there are explanations for many biological questions of “how” that have been answered, one that still eludes scientists is how music has an emotional effect on the human mind. Memory and emotions are innate qualities that are part of how humans function. Music, on the other hand, is a creation of man that has existed for millennia. While it has never been questioned "if" music affects humans, the questions of "how" and "why" remain to be answered. The fact that there are still questions about the impact of music on the human psyche only proves how complex and meaningful to the human experience it actually is.
