Music moves the soul, and it also re-wires the brain. As touted in Kenny Chesney's famous song, "I Go Back," music has a way of transporting us to another time. It dredges up old memories and feelings long-forgotten.
The effect is so powerful, it has been known to temporarily bring back memories to those with Alzheimer's.
This is because of the way music engages the hippocampus, the brain's center of emotion and memory.
Our brainwaves actually resonate to the beat of music, making our heart rate and breathing attempt to sync up with the rhythm. Happy songs can increase serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain... in other words, music can be a powerful mood-improver.
With such an important effect on our mental well-being, it's a surprise more auto companies don't focus more heavily on improving sound. Lincoln does.
With the new Lincoln MKX, you have the option of a 19-speaker Revel Ultima audio system. It reproduces sound to near live-quality, using careful placement of speakers, exposed wave guides, and software like Clari-Fi, which returns lost dimension to compressed files, and QuantumLogic® which lets you choose listening modes.
Visit David McDavid's Plano Lincoln to test drive a new Lincoln vehicle, and experience your music like you've never heard it before.
