What tunes will help out when you need to focus?
It used to be that music interfered with concentration. If it is necessary to focus on work tasks, we try to immerse ourselves in complete silence.
But researchers have proven that there are tracks that only help in difficult cases, so it is not necessary to turn off the music. The main thing is to choose the right playlist.
Srini Pillay, a Harvard neuroscientist, believes that music activates the areas of the brain responsible for movement. And the body, in turn, associates activity with concentration, so songs help to focus.
Only the track should be familiar. This way you can still get down to work faster, even if you suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder.
The song you’ve already heard won’t be distracting because you already know what’s coming next. But at the same time, a familiar rhythm will set you up for work.
In order for this to work, you need to carefully monitor your attitude to the track. If you feel that you like the song, but are already tired of it, it’s time to change it.
Such music can start to irritate the brain. TO
In addition, it’s still better to stop on tracks without sudden changes in tempo or key, since sound jumps can interfere. Therefore, instrumental music helps to concentrate better than songs.
Modern medicine does not stand still and is constantly evolving. Read in the gallery about the main medical discoveries of the XXI century:
Two of the three types of polio have been eradicated; the last one is coming. Following the type 2 poliovirus, officially declared eradicated in 2015, type 3 virus ceased to exist on October 24, 2019. The last case of infection was recorded in 2012 in Nigeria. All of this has been made possible by the widespread use of vaccines since the 1950s.

Artificial intelligence has learned to predict the structure of proteins. The ability to predict, simply from the sequence of amino acids, what the three-dimensional structure of any protein, of which there are hundreds of thousands in the human body, will not only revolutionize biology, it opens up new possibilities for drug development and the treatment of many diseases.

Malaria will be defeated. Malaria could be completely eradicated by 2050, according to The Lancet. As one of the decisive measures, it is proposed to change the DNA of mosquitoes, which will lead to their infertility or make them resistant to malarial plasmodia.

CRISPR/Cas9 is a genome editing technology that allows it to be adapted for treatment. Theoretically, it will make it possible to better study the course of various complex diseases and “reprogram” the diseased organism for recovery.

Creation of antibodies for viral diseases. Laboratory-created monoclonal antibodies have already revolutionized the treatment of autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancer, but so far their use for treating infections has been limited.

HIV and AIDS are on the decline. The effectiveness of modern ARV therapy has already been proven, and in recent years several patients from different countries have been completely freed from the diagnosis.

First coronavirus vaccines in record time. The way humanity reacted to the coronavirus pandemic, of course, cannot be called a standard – but thanks to the active work of the scientific community, it was possible to create effective vaccines very quickly.

Cancer has been identified through a blood test. In 2020, trials of a universal blood test started in the UK, which allows to detect up to 50 types of cancer at an early stage. The study will be completed in 2023, and if it shows its effectiveness, then by the middle of the decade, blood tests for cancer will become massive.

Hepatitis C has become completely curable. Literally over the past few years, the effectiveness of drugs from the “gentle killer” has approached 100%. Such progress came with the introduction of interferon-free treatment regimens.

Alzheimer’s disease will learn to predict. Alzheimer’s blood test is another small medical revolution of 2020. Scientists have learned to identify the relevant biomarkers in blood plasma about four years before the onset of the first symptoms of the disease, which means that such a blood test can be included in annual medical examination programs and recommendations for patients.
