How is music processed in the brain?
People with higher empathy differ from others in how their brains process music, according to a study by researchers at Southern Methodist University, Dallas and UCLA. The researchers found that, compared to people with low empathy, people with higher empathy process familiar music with greater involvement of the brain's reward system, as well as in areas responsible for processing social informations.
Zachary Wallmark:
“People with high empathy and low empathy share a lot in common with listening to music, including about the same involvement in the brain regions associated with auditory, emotional and sensory motor processes.”
