Introduction: It has shown that listening to Mozart music can potentiate spatial tasks in human and reduce seizure attacks in epileptic patients. A few studies have reported the effects of prenatal plus postpartum exposure of mice to the Mozart music on brain-drived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus.

The aim of DMPC is to reduce the computational burden and to increase scalability and modularity with respect to the centralised counterpart, but still maintaining a convenient level of suboptimality with respect to the desired control objectives. Moreover, the advantage of NCMPC approach is the simplicit...
