Yes I have experienced great intensity and emotions when listening to music. There are times that I do and I have felt the exact same emotions that I did in the past and I have been able to recreate it by listening to music. I could not agree that transported would actually be a good word to experience this, but I would express it as a strong memory of association. I do believe that music is a significant resourse to be used in the prevention of epilepsy. I have had epilepsy since childhood, but I have not had as many seizures that I have read or observed others have had. I have used myself as a guinea pig in my resarch and study of the prevention of seizures. I am not a medical doctor nor do I suggest anyone doing this, as I am not a medical doctor. My studies can and will be different from others. But, for me music has been a very theapeutic for me. Why music has strong reactions is because of your knowledge of your emotions, knowledge and memory which you experience from the limbic system which is deeply ingrained in your brain.

To my knowledge, music is not yet used as a formal treatment for epilepsy, but the sheer fact that music has shown a potential ability to be a treatment for epilepsy as well as its ability to induce epileptic seizures would seem to indicate that music just might play a more significant role in the human experience than we ever imagined. ____________ Monica. dating sites
