The effects of music training in relation to brain plasticity have caused excitement, evident from the popularity of books on this topic among scientists and the general public. Neuroscience research has shown that music training leads to changes throughout the auditory system that prime musicians for listening challenges beyond music processing. This effect of music training suggests that, akin to physical exercise and its impact on body fitness, music is a resource that tones the brain for auditory fitness. Therefore, the role of music in shaping individual development deserves consideration.
音乐训练对大脑可塑性的影响引起了人们的关注，这一点从科学家和普通大众对该主题书籍的热衷程度上可见一斑。神经科学研究表明，音乐训练会导致整个听觉系统发生变化，使音乐家能够应对超出音乐处理范围的听力挑战。音乐训练的这种效果表明，就像体育锻炼及其对身体健康的影响一样，音乐是一种资源，可以使大脑适应听觉健康。因此，音乐在塑造个体发展方面的作用值得我们考虑。
