Since we people are "dupal" in many ways [didn't Bernstein love this word as applied to ?western? music ?], it is always interesting to observe the differences between the "two", particularly as we age [for me] . Taking advantage of "strength/weakness" can be a challenge tho. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

That is a very interesting discovery. I have always been curious about the nature of the so called "musical ear". Some say that you are born with it, others say it can be developed if a person starts at an early age. This latest study might suggest some additional experiments. For example, it might be worth trying to listen to music with the left ear with an earphone, while excluding extraneous sounds from the right ear with an ear plug. Is it possible that by putting the load on the right side of the brain, and letting the left side idle, that one's musical perception might be improved ? Perhaps those with a limited "musical ear" still have the capability in their brains, but it is being masked by the dominance of the left side of their brains.

This explains why I don't hear what my wife says!!! My musical ear/brain is over developed and overrides the speech/brain!!
Just wait until she sees this!!
