37、nt study, it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading, but not with every kind of text. This opens up fascinating questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.“We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the

38、 brain responded,” explains Professor Adam Zeman, a neurologist. “The participants lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.” The texts ranged from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones, including the Highway Code, passages from novels an

39、d poems. As the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When they read these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas associated with pleasure and reward the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says, “It w

40、as a nice proof that the emotional response to literature and to music has quite a bit in common.”When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. These areas seem to be associated with things we do with

41、 our minds when we are resting, like thinking about whats happened to us recently, thinking about whats going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly associated with poetry than with prose (散文),” explains Zeman.
