Surgeons Who Listen to AC/DC Are More Accurate and Efficient

  • A new study found that surgeons who listened to AC/DC during operations were faster and more accurate.
  • The trial showed that surgeons who were listening to "TNT" or "Highway To Hell" went from taking 236 seconds to make an incision to 139 and were also 5% more accurate.
  • Surgeons who listened to The Beatles' "Hey, Jude" and "Let It Be" also stitched up their patients 50% faster.
  • One researcher from Germany's Heidelberg University wrote "It is possible that music with high rhythmicity could provide a tempo to keep up the speed of the performance and thus enhance task performance."
