Recently functional magnetic resonance imaging has become popular in the studies of human brain functions. As the area of auditory cortex has been proven and defined, we consider music cognition as the next step. In this study, we focus on the response of rhythm. Professional musicians and amateurs were involved in our experiments.
Our preliminary result revealed that three of professional musicians have distinguished activation on left cerebrum Inferior Frontal Gyrus BA45/BA47 (language areas). However, since the subjects¡¦ background is difficult to be strictly controlled, further discussion is necessary to define meaning and brain functions of our experiments.
