Summary/Abstract: The idea for developing this topic came to us from observations on how music can help us to accomplish a large amount of intellectual work in a short period of time. Objective: Our objective was to study the influence of music on various aspects of brain activity. Tasks: Our task was to support our thesis that music causes effects on the brain, through which it provokes an increase in the cognitive and perceptual-motor impulse, causing higher functional and structural plasticity of the brain. Material and methods: To implement this task, we used the method of observation and analysis of experimental settings available for information in the scientific literature, conducted in some of the leading neurolinguistic centers around the world. Results and discussions: Our personal result was that against the background of musical works or by alternating musical activities with our main intellectual activity, we managed to summarize and structure a large volume of activity in a short period of time, while at the same time, with this model of work, our body and mind did not feel exhausted and we maintained our motivation to work and concentration of our attention to detail for a long time. Conclusions: Our conclusions support the influence of music on the speed of concentration, strengthening of selective attention processes, the speed of associative processes in the brain, rapid analysis of cognitive and emotional aspects, as well as faster and more effective memorization
