If you’ve ever wondered how pictures of you French-kissing a giant chicken ended up on Flickr, you’ll be glad to know there’s a scientific explanation: bars use loud dance music to get you drunk.
A study to be published in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research on the effects of music levels on drinking in bars found [...]

This is a demonstration video showing real-time 3D acoustic rendering, using the Phoenix gaming engine.
Developer David Rosen discusses this in depth in his paper Real-time 3D Acoustics Rendering:
Abstract
It is common for real-time systems to render 3D sounds by simply panning the sound from left to right and adjusting the volume based on distance. This is [...]

Scientists have proven, with science, that wine tastes better with powerful, heavy music.
So, if you like your techno with some fava beans and a nice chianti, there may be a reason.
“It is widely acknowledged within the scientific community that music affects behaviour,” according to Prof Adrian North of Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. “However, this [...]

It’s science: chill out music music is good for you
According to research presented at the American Society of Hypertension’s Twenty Third Annual Scientific Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2008), listening to just 30 minutes of rhythmically homogeneous music every day can significantly reduce high blood pressure.
By rhythmically homogeneous, they mean music with little or no variation [...]

Mathtrek has an interesting post that explores the geometry of music.
According to Dmitri Tymoczko, a composer and music theorist at Princeton University…to grasp the true structure of music, we need to understand the geometry of hyperdimensional objects.
Tymoczko compares the structure of music to the shape of a rock face that a rock-climber [...]

Researchers at the Duke University Center for Cognitive Neuroscience believe that the use of 12 tone intervals in music is rooted in the physics of how our vocal anatomy produces speech. According to their research, the notes traditionally used in tonal music sound “right” to our ears because of the way our bodies make sounds [...]
