How music changes your behavior at home

Playing music at home brings people physically closer. In an experiment done by neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, after starting to play your music of choice, in your own home, the average distance between household members decreased by 12%, people were 33% more likely to cook together, 85% more likely to invite people over, 15% more likely to laugh together and 18% more likely to say "I love you!". Couples reported 66% more intimacy, 37% more time spent "awake in bed". Music can induce emotions on the long term in the same way as coffee or alcohol, altering neurochemistry, but in a good, non-addictive process.
