There isn’t a music centre in the brain, the brain is the music centre

We used to think that there was a centre for every major processing task, like language or maths. We know who that there are both centres for processing as well as a complex set of interlinking and overlapping networks that contribute to the processing of information.

To process music our brains need to recruit a large number of areas to take the music apart, understand and put it back together in less than a second. Prof Levitin is right, it is endlessly intriguing.
