Your body may move to the music on the dance floor, but how does your brain function when listening to tunes while you work?A lot of people swear one way or another electronic music may speed up the pace of typing for some, while others just find it distracting. In fact, the question of whether music helps you get your work done or hinders you may be highly individualistic.However, new research shows that certain types of upbeat, groovy music without lyrics may improve peoples moods while speeding up their ability to complete tasks.We think peoples mood improves, and that allows them to work faster, says Pablo Ripolls, a cognitive neuroscientist at New York University.Studying Music and WorkflowIn a study published recently in PLOS One, Ripolls and his colleagues recruited 200 volunteers and split them into four groups, each listening to a different type of sound for 10-minute stretches. They then asked each participant how they felt and had them complete a task that required their full attention and concentration to see whether there were any differences in their performance.One of these sounds was workflow music produced by Spiritune called Anxious-to-Energized; one was just a recording of office white noise; one was a mixture of popular rock, pop, and rap; and the final was a deep focus playlist pulled from Spotify.Read More: This Is Your Brain on MusicImproving Mood and EfficiencyThe tests showed that no one group was more accurate at completing the task changes in music didnt seem to affect ability, at least on average. But the people who listened to the workflow music did finish the task a little faster on average than those who listened to other sounds.Ripolls says that this is likely because the mood of these people also improved while listening to the workflow music.If you look at the changes in mood before and after listening to music, the only ones who improved their mood were the ones listening to workflow music, he says. The better their mood was, the faster they were at the task.Personal Taste and Workflow Its more difficult to say exactly why the workflow music improved their efficiency, but Ripolls has a couple of theories. People didnt like all the four types of sounds equally, for example. Most participants reported not liking the office white noise track.Meanwhile, some people liked the playlist based on top Billboard hits, but others didnt. The latter likely came down to personal taste people who liked rap wouldnt necessarily like rock or pop, for example.Most respondents liked the deep focus Spotify playlist, which basically consisted of neutral ambient sound type tracks without lyrics. The trouble was, Ripolls says, it wasnt groovy.The Spiritune workflow music also has no lyrics, but blends elements of funk. It makes people want to move, Ripolls says.The inspiration to dance, or move, may be an important factor that goes further than just inducing the right kind of mood.In order for music to improve our cognition, it has to both improve our mood but also increase our arousal levels, Ripolls says, adding that arousal refers to the way music awakens and energizes people.These factors may help keep people stimulated, which helps them focus on their work, he says.How People Can Respond to MusicRipolls says that while this test seemed to show that Spiritunes music track may help in general, a lot of individual variation is likely. For example, its hard to gauge the effect that rock, pop, or rap music may have from the Billboard list because tastes differ among listeners. And not all pop music is created equal. Some may be sadder in tone while other tracks are groovier or more upbeat.Efficiency isnt the only factor important for people at work, either. Some jobs require creativity, which opens a whole new kind of discussion about what music may work best.Ripolls just hopes that results like the ones his team got will help people make better choices on their playlist when at work.When people want to use music to focus, they should think for a little bit about which kind of music is really going to help them, he says.Article SourcesOur writers at Discovermagazine.com use peer-reviewed studies and high-quality sources for our articles, and our editors review for scientific accuracy and editorial standards.

When you think of wildlife photography, you might conjure thoughts of cheetahs sprinting across the open savanna or polar bears feasting on a whale carcass, but nature is everywhere. Nature is in your backyard, your city, and even inside a bag of discarded fries. The British Wildlife Photography Awards documents this fact each year with compelling images from a fascinating variety of locations. Yes, even inside a fries bag (seen below).Street Cleaners15-17 years | WinnerWhen I found a packet of fries someone had abandoned, I knew that it wouldnt be long until it attracted opportunistic pigeons. I set up a small GoPro camera in the back of the packet, and after some very weird looks from people passing by, the birds finally started to show up. As they approached the food, I triggered the camera with voice commands so I didnt put the birds off their meal and I pulled off this shot. Our carelessness removes the natural food for many species and provides for others. These birds are truly the vultures of the streets.Credit: Ben Lucas / British Wildlife Photography Awards Photographer Simon Withyman was named British Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 and winner in the Urban Wildlife category for his image (seen below) of a female fox navigating the streets of Bristol, England. I had been photographing this vixen for three years, Withyman said in a statement. This streetwise fox was a successful mother and had a family of young mouths to feed. I was instantly drawn to the interesting perspective effect of these railings and wanted to showcase some beauty in this everyday urban scene.Urban ExplorerBritish Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 and Winner of Urban WildlifeFor approximately three years, I had been photographing this vixen and was able to track her movements across the city. Surprisingly, she covered large distances, eventually moving over a mile away from her original parental territory. In the city, that means a lot of roads, hazards, and other fox territories to contend with. This streetwise fox was a successful mother and had a family of young mouths to feed. She would patrol the streets and the area near her den searching for food for herself and her young family. She would opportunistically hunt rodents and birds, as well as scavenge takeaway leftovers dropped on the floor. I wanted to capture a creative environment portrait as she went about her daily routine. I was instantly drawn to the interesting perspective effect of these railings and wanted to showcase some beauty in this everyday urban scene.Credit: Simon Withyman / British Wildlife Photography Awards Simon WithymanMore than 13,000 photographs were submitted across 10 categories to the 2025 British Wildlife Photography Awards. Submissions are now open for the 2026 awards. Red Grouse Coming in to LandAnimal Portraits | Runner-upI spent several days photographing the red grouse that frequent the Yorkshire moors. Positioned near a male grouse feeding on heather, I was focused on capturing its behavior when I noticed a second bird flying in. With just enough time to reposition myself, I managed to capture the moment it landed on the heather with its wings outstretched.Credit: Ben Hall / British Wildlife Photography Awards Blue SharkCoast & Marine | WinnerThis slow-shutter speed portrait of a blue shark was captured 10 to 15 miles southwest of Penzance, Cornwall. Blue sharks are summer visitors to UK waters, known for their bold and curious nature, often interacting with snorkelers. They primarily feed on small fish and squid and are easily attracted to boats using Rubby Dubbya mixture of fish carcasses, oils, and bran. As apex predators, they are highly vulnerable to long-line fishing and, with no catch limits or quotas, are overexploited for their fins in the production of shark fin soup. These beautiful oceanic animals deserve our protection.Credit: Nicholas More / British Wildlife Photography Awards The Seal CaveCoast & Marine | Runner-upA young grey seal breaks the surface in the clear turquoise waters of a coastal cave on Bardsey Island, North Wales. This cave hosts up to 30 or more seals hauling out within its depths, accessing it through a hidden seaward passage beneath the water. Sitting quietly above offers a unique opportunity to observe their movements, behaviors, and remarkable vocalizations up close. Occasionally, the perfect combination of light, tide, and seal activity aligns to create an image like thisone of my favorites from my visits to this extraordinary site.Credit: Ben Porter / British Wildlife Photography Awards Hare in MotionAnimal Portraits | WinnerThe late artist Robert Gillmor created a beautiful linocut of a running hare, depicting the different positions a hares legs take as they run. I thought it would be interesting to recreate this piece of art in a photograph by using a slow shutter speed of 1/10 sec as a hare ran. It took many attempts, photographing hares as they moved up and down a field of winter wheat, but I finally achieved this image of a hare in motion.Credit: David Tipling / British Wildlife Photography Awards Curlew Oclock!Young British Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 and 11 and under | WinnerIt was a very early morning start and a four-hour drive to try to get the early morning light on the plains. As the sun was just coming up over the hill, I noticed how it caught the dandelion clocks and lit them up like little fuzzy lamps everywhere. I was lining up my camera out of the car window, ready to capture a photo, when I heard a curlew nearby. I scanned the area to try to find where they were and found this one wading through the dandelions just in front of me.Credit: Jamie Smart / British Wildlife Photography Awards Bus PassUrban Wildlife | Runner-upA small South London pond provided an unexpected yet ideal setting for a swan study. A resident pair had nested there for years, successfully raising cygnets each spring. The cob ruled the water like a medieval baron, driving away all but the ducksgeese, crows, and other intruders were swiftly evicted. At times, he would even wander onto the main London road, stopping traffic as he stood watch over his family just inches from passing cars and lorries. Capturing this urban avian family required an early start and a unique approachstanding knee-deep in the ponds thick mud before the fountain switched on, using a tripod, a long lens, a two-second delay, a slow shutter speed, and, of course, a passing bus.Credit: Paul Goldstein / British Wildlife Photography Awards

Throughout the night, great potoos emit a loud, moaning growl that has earned the bird a mythical status, with some communities believing the sounds to be children calling for lost parents.

ChatGPT Falsely Accuses Man of Killing His ChildrenGenerative AI is known for "hallucinations" false information it creates in its answers. It's usually annoying at most, but this time, a 'joke' went way too far.A man, Arve Hjalmar Holmen, decided to see what ChatGPT knew about him but received a horrifying reply. The bot said he had killed his own two sons and had been sentenced to 21 years in prison.As the privacy rights advocacy group Noyb noted, the scariest thing was that AI included real elements of his personal life, like the number and gender of his children and the name of his town.The GDPR is clear. Personal data has to be accurate, said Joakim Sderberg, data protection lawyer at Noyb. If its not, users have the right to have it changed to reflect the truth. Showing ChatGPT users a tiny disclaimer that the chatbot can make mistakes clearly isnt enough. You cant just spread false information and in the end add a small disclaimer saying that everything you said may just not be true.Shocked and disturbed, Holmen filed a complaint against OpenAI, asking it to remove the output, fine-tune the model, and restrict the processing of his personal data. Since then, the company has cleaned it up, so you can't get the same answer anymore.However, the question remains: why does ChatGPT make up information, especially of this kind? Naturally, the first thought that comes to mind is that there is some other Arve Hjalmar Holmen out there who actually murdered his sons. But Noyb has done its research and failed to find any other cases that might have confused the bot.Granted, ChatGPT has a warning that it might be wrong sometimes, but Noyb's data protection lawyer Kleanthi Sardeli doesn't find it soothing: Adding a disclaimer that you do not comply with the law does not make the law go away. AI companies can also not just hide false information from users while they internally still process false information.. AI companies should stop acting as if the GDPR does not apply to them, when it clearly does. If hallucinations are not stopped, people can easily suffer reputational damage.Noyb filed another complaint against OpenAI in April 2024, but it is still lying around.Having received the complaint from the Austrian Supervisory Authority in September 2024, the DPC commenced the formal handling of the complaint and it is still ongoing, Risteard Byrne, assistant principal officer communications for the DPC told TechCrunch.So, we'll likely have to wait for a while to see where Holmen's case leads.
