Now that it’s been scientifically proven that listening to Mozart will not make your baby (or college student) smarter, new research indicates that there truly can be a so-called Mozart Effect on individuals with epilepsy.

The study, presented at the American Psychological Association’s 123rd annual convention, looked at brainwave patterns in people with and without epilepsy, exposing them to alternating 10-minute sessions of silence and music.
Researchers at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center found different responses in those with the condition and those without it. Full story.
