We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.Bu

31、t according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesnt speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia”.

32、ned to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological measures of feelings.According to the researchers, most

33、 of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweatedmore. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the

34、study experienced.The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically cant enjoy music at all”To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities.
