Summary
Medical therapeutical resonance music (MTRM) and dynamic color exposure significantly reduce anxiety and improve mood. This combined therapy offers a potent, relaxing effect, normalizing physiological functions and enhancing brain activity.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychophysiology
- Music Therapy
Background:
- P. K. Anokhin's theory of functional systems provides a framework for understanding complex biological regulation.
- Previous research indicates music therapy's potential in rehabilitation and stress reduction.
- Dynamic color exposure is explored for its influence on physiological and psychological states.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the corrective effects of medical therapeutical resonance music (MTRM) and dynamic color exposure, individually and in combination.
- To evaluate the efficacy of MTRM compared to traditional rehabilitative music programs.
- To investigate the impact of these interventions on emotional state, autonomic regulation, and cognitive functions.
Main Methods:
- Participants were exposed to MTRM and dynamic color exposure in various combinations.
- Physiological parameters including cardiovascular function, metabolic rate, and muscular rigidity were monitored.
- Electroencephalography (EEG) was used to assess brain activity, specifically alpha-rhythm spectral power.
- Psychological assessments measured anxiety levels and mood states.
Main Results:
- MTRM demonstrated a more pronounced relaxing effect than standard rehabilitative music, optimizing emotion and autonomic regulation.
- Combined MTRM and dynamic color exposure yielded the most significant relaxing effect.
- Observed improvements included reduced anxiety, enhanced mood, normalized cardiovascular parameters, decreased metabolic rate, reduced muscular rigidity, and increased alpha-rhythm spectral power, particularly in the anterior brain regions.
Conclusions:
- The combined application of MTRM and dynamic color exposure is highly effective in normalizing the functional status of individuals.
- This therapeutic approach offers a promising method for stress reduction and psychological well-being.
- The findings support the integration of MTRM and color therapy in clinical and rehabilitative settings.
