Recent advancements in neuroscience, particularly with tools like fMRI and PET scanners, have allowed researchers to observe real-time brain activity. When individuals listen to music, researchers notice that multiple regions of the brain are activated. These regions work together to decipher various elements of the music, such as melody and rhythm, culminating in a coherent musical experience. Remarkably, this intricate processing occurs in the blink of an eye, just as a listener's foot begins to tap along to the beat.
