This is rhythm in its most obvious form.
The interior frontal gyrus, substantia nigra, cerebellum, and insula were all identified to have a stronger correlation with nostalgic music than not. [25] Brain activity is a very individualized concept with many of the musical excerpts having certain effects based on individuals' past life experiences, thus this caveat should be kept in mind ...
