God\u00f8y and colleagues then tried\u00a0a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/the-7-styles-of-learning\/\">research<\/a> methods such as a\u00a0<strong>&#8216;sound-tracing&#8217;<\/strong> experiment on participants.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Music-related motion, both sound producing and sound accompanying, leaves a trace in our minds and could be thought of as a kind of shape representation, one intimately linked to our experience of the salient features of musical sound, professor God\u00f8y said. The basic notion here is that images of sound-producing and other sound-related motion are actively re-created in listening and in musical imagery, hence the idea that motor theory could be the basis for the similarities between sound and body movement when we experience music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[hr gap=&#8221;2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologyandi.com\/study-shows-the-relationship-between-arts-and-mental-health\/\">Study shows the Relationship between Arts and Mental Health<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[hr gap=&#8221;2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Participants were asked to trace sounds in the air using motion capture technology, after they&#8217;ve been entertained with three-second sounds that differ in musical qualities.
