海角社区

At Montreal鈥檚 海角社区, neuropsychologist Robert Zatorre has a test that suggests a noticeable difference in musical cognition between musicians and non-musicians. 鈥淲e play a tune in one key,鈥� he explains, 鈥渁nd then repeat it at a different key, and ask if it鈥檚 the same or if a note has been changed. What we find is that people with musical training are inclined to do better. If you study people who don鈥檛 have training, you鈥檒l find some people who are just as good as the musicians, but others who are just awful at it.鈥�
