      Mozart is good for you because it relaxes the brain.
  • The power of music to affect memory is quite intriguing. Mozart's music and baroque music, with a 60 beats per minute beat pattern, activate the left and right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain action maximizes learning and retention of information. The information being studied activates the left brain while the music activates the right brain. Also, activities which engage both sides of the brain at the same time, such as playing an instrument or singing, causes the brain to be more capable of processing information.

  • Every state except Utah and Hawai'i permits some form of gambling.

  • The illusion of control
  • The fact that money isn't the only motivation for gambling is something that Dixon and his students know from the Gambling Intervention Program, which he began at SIUC in early 2005.
