Abstract
In the past decade, with the rapid development of cognitive neuroscience and brain function detection technology, the relationship between music and brain has increasingly attracted the attention of neuroscientists. More and more research shows that the influence of music on people is not only emotional; it has a positive effect on brain development and cognitive development. Different states of the brain understand music in different ways, stimulating specific areas of the left and right hemispheres of the brain to evoke specific “music memories”, causing corresponding physiological changes. Music activities must be based on brain mechanisms and neural mechanisms to complete, and the most basic way of human brain and nervous system activity is communication and signal transmission between cells. In this paper, we explored the influence of music on the brain. We compared the differences in cognition and memory within a group of students with various academic performances. Through the test of color memory, the length of response time is used as a cognitive ability scale. The results showed that the experimental group performed better, confirming that listening to music can have certain positive effect on cognitive ability, specifically, improving memory. Listening to music could enhance the performance and reduce errors in the questions that the color of the word matched.

Summary
With the rapid development of cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging technology, there are more and more researches focused on exploring the relationship between music and its effects on the brain. Research shows that the influence of music on people is emotional; it has a positive effect on brain development and cognitive development. Previous research shows that music can stimulate the areas relating to motor, language, and cognitive functions simultaneously, and effectively improve patients’ cognitive and working memory. There’s evidence showing that music training is closely connected to the stimulation of neurons and executive function of the prefrontal cortex. We seek to find out whether music training could effectively improve the participants’ memory function, subsequently improving their learning abilities. We will explore whether classical music could effectively improve the participants’ concentration and learning efficiency. We performed two sets of experiment to test the connection between music and memory function
