The P Speaks: Left Ear for Lyrics, Right Ear for Rants

By thep

Music to my [Left] Ears

Ear - diagram

I was reading today that the LEFT EAR is better suited to processing musical tones, as it sends information to the right brain… so tilt your head accordingly when trying to figure out lyrics!

The left brain, however, can follow rapid speech rhythms better than the right brain, so use your RIGHT EAR next time you are trying to hear those mumbled intros from the stage.

Thank the helpful researchers from UCLA for figuring this out.

    Are you saying UCLA is the best Pac 10 school?

    um, no.
    With regard to the PAC 10, I’ve learned to quack the quack. Except during b-ball season!

    Fortunately, the BCS thinks Oregon is the best Pac 10 school…

    And we all know the BCS is never wrong!
