[单项选择]Gordon Shaw the physicist, 66, and colleagues have discovered what’s known as the "Mozart effect," the ability of a Mozart sonata, under the right circumstances, to improve the listener’s mathematical and reasoning abilities. But the findings are controversial and have launched all kinds of crank notions about using music to make kids smarter. The hype, he warns, has gotten out of hand.
But first, the essence: Is there something about the brain cells work to explain the effect In 1978 the neuroscientist Vernon Mountcastle devised a model of the neural structure of the brain’s gray matter. Looking like a thick band of colorful bead work, it represents the firing patterns of groups of neurons. Building on Mounteastle, Shaw and his team constructed a model of their own. On a lark, Xiaodan Leng, who was Shaw’s colleague at the time, used a synthesizer to translate these patterns into music. What came out of the speakers wasn’t exactly toe-tapping, but it was music. Shaw and Leng infer
A. being particularly trained to tackle math problems
B. listening to a specific Mozart and playing the piano
C. having extra courses designed exclusively for them
D. studying the piano for its breathtaking complexity
