Premature babies: Punji flute music helps their brains mature

F.Rühchen are tiny, delicate beings, not yet equipped for the world, they have to grow in incubators because they haven’t spent enough time in the womb. But they like to listen to music. At the very least, studies suggest that the children were observed listening to music. Their breath flowed more calmly, their hearts beat more steadily. The comforting sensation had an effect on their appetite, premature babies who listened to music gained weight faster and their sleep became firmer. But what do tones do in children’s brains that are not yet fully developed and are also exposed to enormous stress? Researchers from the University of Geneva have systematically studied this for the first time. Among other things, you used a tool called punji. It is an Indian flute that snake charmers also play. The researchers were able to show that it did not fail to have an effect on premature babies.
