Thumbs up OK, now this is pretty amazing. Music makes premature babies breathe normally.

Standley's work addresses the fundamental problem that preemies—infants born before spending 34 weeks in their mother's womb—are too neurologically immature to be able to feed by mouth—either bottle or breast—so they're fed through IV tubes. Learning how to feed is crucial to allow them to gain sufficient weight to thrive. Standley found that music can help solve that problem.

Her pioneering research showed that babies too young to know anything about their worlds, too neurologically immature even to grasp such babyhood basics as sucking, swallowing and even breathing in a healthy rhythm, hear music and, often within minutes, begin picking up clues for doing what most babies do naturally.

Standley, for the past three decades a professor and researcher at FSU's College of Music, is recognized throughout the United States as the foremost authority on medical music therapy for people of all ages. The recipient of the American Music Therapy Association's Distinguished Researcher Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Association's highest distinction—the Award of Merit, Standley was also appointed to the highest research position in music therapy—editor of the profession's premiere research journal, the Journal of Music Therapy.

Standley's earlier research with full-term month-old infants had revealed their ability to learn, to discriminate and to show preferences between music and their mothers' voices. Though born with neural networks not quite ready for prime time, preemies also have ample ability to discriminate and learn, Standley found.

Researching the effect of music on preemies, Standley found that they increased their suckling rates 2.5 times when exposed to music. More suckling means more weight gain and better chances for survival.
Apparently, the trick is a musical pacifier, or so it reveals later in the write-up.
Amazing isht, I say.
