Creation Moment 1/13/2015 - MUSIC for Mankind

"Many animals make sounds; birds and whales can sing; but there’s nothing to compare with the
human brain’s capacity for music.

Universality: A couple of news stories reveal interesting things about humans and music.  One study, reported by Medical Xpress, found that the emotional responses to music appear to be universal in humans. 
 All showed similar emotional responses using “emoticons” to indicate how the music made them feel.  The scientists concluded that music cuts across cultures, and that certain aspects of music appear universal.

Perfect Pitch: Neuroscientists at the University of Zurich were interested in discovering more about why some people have absolute pitch, sometimes called perfect pitch.  This is the ability to predict the pitch of a named tone, say an A, C# or F, without hearing any note first.  (Many people have relative pitch: they can judge these notes after hearing another note and its name.)  According to Medical Xpress, two separate brain regions join forces in this skill, possessed by only 1% of people, though up to 20% of musicians.  People with this ability have a strong default linkage between the left-hand auditory cortex and the left-hand dorsal frontal cortex.  “This coupling enables an especially efficient exchange of information between the auditory cortex and the dorsal frontal cortex in people with absolute pitch,” Stefan Elmer says, “which means that the perception and memory information can be exchanged quickly and efficiently.”" CEH

he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
