- Do you have a secret musical ability? Can you easily imagine hearing music in your mind? In this talk, music cognition researcher, Rebecca Gelding unpacks the science of musical imagery ability with the help of some audience participation, and explains how it could be the key to becoming a musician. Rebecca Gelding is a cognitive scientist who was featured on ABC Science. Aside from her academic publications and award-winning PhD thesis on the human brain when people imagine music, she has also written for the Quillette and Times Higher Education and is an editor of the Australian Music Psychology Society quarterly newsletter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I sometimes wake up with a song in my head, but it's one ive completely created while sleeping, it's cool but weird and after an hour of being awake I forget it, this happened on and off for about twelve years
Abril Llanos this happens to me as well
I always wake up with a song in my head, and I always get a song in my head when I feel something. I thought there was something wrong with me, good to know I’m not the only one
@@needless2048 HOLYSHIT YES. EVERY DAY A DIFFERENT SONG. Even those songs I dont like or songs i've listened when I was a kid
Me too! Glad I’m not alone
exist6ence 〜, Ikr? It can be so annoying at times.
The first time I took melatonin, I had an extremely vivid dream, and I also realized I was probably dreaming. I remember feeling and looking at textures of walls, and there was a boom box playing beautiful orchestral music. I remember centering my head close to it, and hearing various levels of music being played simultaneously. And I remember thinking, if I wake up, then this is a dream, and if this is a dream, this music is being created by my mind. When I woke up, I was astounded to think that I had some innate talent for generating music in my mind. The problem is, I think I can only tap into this if I'm deep, deep asleep.
Footnote - 2 nights ago, I had another musical dream. George Harrison played a beautiful, gentle song that he was about to release. I didnt think it was strange that he was alive, or that I was in the room with him. But the song was (to my sleeping self) as profoundly beautiful as Lennon's Imagine, but very different. He played it with an acoustic guitar. There was a slight hint of Edmund Fitzgerald to it (,which drives me crazy because it's too repetitious), the gentleness was akin to Morning Has Broken. Anyway, I before he finished, I was thinking of asking him to play it again. But then my dog down the hallway started scratching himself, which woke me up. At first, I was unhappy about it, then I thought if he hadn't woken me up, my dream would have moved on to other things and my memory of the song probably would have been lost. I wish there was a way to record the songs in my dreams!
I have high auditory imagery. I thought I was just crazy because I was able to rehearse songs with perfect tune. However this isn't just music. This happens with conversations. Which replays in my head, destroying my mental stability.
destroying ur mental stability my azz
is this related to perfect pitch? not absolute trained pitch
Learn to play a guitar now dude!
@@arcadepiano chill man
ugh this happens to me too!
Many musicians who can not read music, but play by ear have it
Previous month I was able to receive my first five figure paycheck ever!!! I've been working for this company on-line for 2 years now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most desirable thing about it is the fact I am not really that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard knowledge about internet and general typing skill...Amazing thing about this gig is that now I have more free time for my loved ones. I am able to devote quality time with my friends and family and take care of my babies and also going on vacation along with them very frequently. Don't skip this opportunity and try to act quickly. Here’s what I do *explore486.com*
I really wanted to watch this video but I'm sensitive to lip smacking and the microphone is picking too much of it
Most of the time that makes me click off
sesi kapayıp,sadece altyazıyı okuyabilirsin bence
@@zeynepakyol3806 oyle yapmak istesem makale okurum 😊
maybe you could mute it and turn your captions on?
Why.......??
In band and orchestra we’re always told to think a note before playing it and then once we play a note we compare what’s in our head with what’s coming out of our instrument to tune.
Her voice is so comfortable 😘~
liP SmAcKIng
Worst case of dry mouth ever. Knocking me sick.
Sooo many TED talks have comments complaining about this but I NEVER notice it myself
@@michaelwallace9291 I don't notice it either lol... I get too much in the conversation :D
Giuliana CR lucky u :3
btw its not that bothering, to me at least.
Fun fact: I’m on the high end, but because she told me to imagine “Happy Birthday” and I’m not an English native speaker my mind couldn’t form the song correctly. I only noticed I had this by thinking of the Happy Birthday song in my own language.
I don't like and listen to music but her speech has profound affect on me .
عجائب غرائب
It seems I have this too. I've always been aware of it and I had figured not everyone has something like this to a similar extent, but having something like this being studied is cool, same thing with my synesthesia. I can imagine different music or songs, perhaps compose some small bits of music despite not having music education, and I can have conversations with people who's voices I know well enough. It's good for memorizing songs because singing them is like having karaoke in the background all the time. I don't really plan to go into music, my artistic needs are met with other things, but it's still pretty neat.
Predict sound coming in is very use in dance music to create tention and release, or drop to make people waiting and jumping
MUSIC is life! 🎶
Incredible, thank you!
Learning to read music helped learning in other subjects. Music theory was a great class!
I play the bass guitar, but I find it hard to communicate what I hear in my head to the instrument. It’s so frustrating. Maybe bass guitar isn’t the right instrument for me
Music is my life :-)
Sometimes my brain automatic create the tune that I know.
Same
never had I known this was a secret ability
Loved your speech .
So clear and motivated
those mouth sounds though
@@spaceabsorber6oo911 lol
Very good
ohhhhhh... that fits, makes perfect sense.
I'm sure it echoes loads of other 'this me' comments; thank you
Interesting.. Wonder if this applies to voice mimicry as well.
The song happy birthday was the song stuck in my head when she said to think if the song happy birthday
okay, im 2 seconds into the actual talk and all i can think about is how much sound is mouth sounds that aren't words. Hard to focus on anything else.
meh, what she talks in the end works in many non-musical tasks, eg if I'm a driver but sitting in pasanger seat I sometimes involuntary push my foot like I was driving
I just went for the Italian Hand
Thank you !
So interesting!
This was inspirational for me, thank you.
We need more good things for new ways to live in good positions .
I was like: hey, this is Audition by Gordon. I feel smart.
So much for that since you spelled audiation wrong lol.... I'm jk, autocorrect would have caused that
Omg ok wait once I was playing the piano and i was in my head i heard the song and also the piano making noise it was so cool and surreal
I'll sit a side with my books and suddenly i get remember of any song and get distrackted and start singing...!
This is EXACTLY what happens in dreams adrift by Julius Richard
Imaging Happy Birthday brought back the visual of an interview with the man's family who composed "Happy Birthday". Lol
Good luck....
Awesome😍
❤️❤️
Imma beatboxer and in my head i can fell soft beats..... Peace
Adam Neely, I need you to make a video on this.
Wow very interesting
I always thought I couldn't live without music until I had none , but strangely I still had music in my mind !
🕊
It’s so weird that people say Australia like Austray-ya
This was missing the punchline, what's the value of these brain functions? How can it be harnessed to help? I feel that I'm missing the 'Darwinian' statement from her research. Anyone have a theory?
You're perspective must be changed. You must observe and be open to the possibilty that we can be pushed forward, just not through the means we Assume. Either way exposure to this information is a good thing
@@TheRabbitHiro SageLiek I'm open to and accept that the research is true, what I'm not any clearer on is the benefit to an organism of this musical imagery effect. Perhaps being musically talented somehow links to physical ability, dexterity...
A lot of people in the comments section seem to misunderstand the talk.
I love music, so much.
I never thought its an ability and someone might not be able to do that Oo
2 I have tried for years to play the guitar and I still can’t do it.
Have you had an actual professional teach it to you ? Also one could argue that there's never a point when you can say : I can play this instrument, because you're always learning. ..
Do not say "can't"
I notice better in tune than the song lyrics & i better remember the tune.
You should give The Peace & Love (The Pogues) a listen. Its here on RUclips. Let me know what you think.
Every second of every day, odd songs sometimes from before I was born run on in my mind...
Today, the musical commercial from the 70's of "look for the union label".... Lmao

And I remember a time when Macquarie University was a serious learning institution.....how times change
But how do I sing these ridiculous Chopin passages
I'm learning?
^^^I feel this
Tho for me rn it's Rachmaninoff
How do I sing frickin 8 note chords???
❤❤❤
4th comment thanks
You mean unlock hyper subconscious awareness that's been systematically dimmed and dumbed down by technology such as music video games and smart phones?? Then yes please I would like to unlock
Adam Neely, where you at?
300 years ago we had Mozart, today we have Cardi B.
I don't want to hear the music in modern minds.
"It was as if I had 3 sets of minds or hands" ... a third eye? Did she study with the Navis Nobilité? Sounds like someone is a Navigator! (eh? Fellow 40k fans anywhere?)
ASMR brought me hear.
Music in your mind Need no rhyme.
UK is not in Europe or Europe is not in UK we talking countries or continents
Jésus can change yr life bro ❤️
OMFG the lipsmacking in the audio is unbearable. Turning this off after 30 seconds.
What is she eating? Why that microphone is inside of her mouth?
Ugh! Slurping and lip smacking and breathing.....shockingly poor audio
yuar beuty full I love you
You count writing for the Quillette as an accomplishment on your bio? Goodbye fash.
She fails at the circle game
