Tomatis, an internationally known otolaryngologist who used Mozart's music as the listening stimulus in his work to cure a variety of disorders. Later on, Dr. Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky took this research further and published an article in Nature that demonstrated an increase in IQ of 8 to 9 points when students studied while listening to Mozart's music.
