Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.84,0:05:08.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that when dopamine increased\Ncompared to when it decreased,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.24,0:05:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their pleasure responses also increased.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.12,0:05:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Namely, the participants told us\Nthey'd rather hear a certain song
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.84,0:05:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they also had more\Nassociated physiological responses:

Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.92,0:05:23.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Additionally, when the dopamine increased,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.08,0:05:26.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we call motivational answers\Ndid also increase.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.68,0:05:30.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this case, the participants\Nwere willing to pay more

Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.76,0:05:35.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Namely, they were willing\Nto give money to have that song,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.52,0:05:47.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are key to the understaning\Nof the role of music in our life,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.20,0:05:52.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, the fundamental question remains:

Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.40,0:06:01.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is an end in itself?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.84,0:06:05.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Namely, what is the true\Nrole of music in our lives?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.24,0:06:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To try to answer this,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.12,0:06:29.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that your brain starts to switch on,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.08,0:07:17.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then we can start thinking\Nabout using music
