Well, it's a version of the Dunning-Kruger. Yes. The problem with people who lack intelligence fail in two accounts. One is they make bad decisions, but the other is they're overconfident because they don't realize that they lack the intelligence to make a good decision.

So I would start by saying that music is not a hammer. It's a tool kit. Different kinds of music do different things. It's not a single tool. It's not a hammer or a wrench or a screwdriver. It's more like a Swiss army knife. And different music will do different things for you. So you don't want to lump it all together.

So in the case of Parkinson's, music that has the tempo that is more or less your walking speed, your gait, will help restore the ability of Parkinson's patients to walk. When they've lost that ability due to degradation of circuits in the basal ganglia and other regions that control smooth, continuous movement, Parkinson's patients often freeze.

There's an internal clock or timer that allows them to time their steps. Like a metronome. When that's degraded, if you play the music, We now know there are populations of millions of neurons that synchronize to the beat of the music. And that becomes an external stimulus for them to guide their movements. And they can walk just fine. Now, you use the term metronome.

And the interesting thing is a metronome doesn't work as well as music. And I think it's because music is a lot more engaging than a metronome.

So the trick there is to get it at their normal gait. Otherwise, you become unsteady and could fall. Sure. But it's the same principle why we see Olympic athletes... especially runners and marathoners, running with AirPods to music that's at one or two beats per minute faster than they normally would run.

Then they can synchronize to that slightly faster beat and actually increase their running times.
