News Finding: However the musiciansaEUR(tm) brain waves buzzed in synchrony to music as slow as 0.7 notes per second.
Paper Finding: Another alternative is that the added complexity of music engages a range of other, more complex brain functions, making it difficult to detect this specific relationship using the tools available in this study.
News Context: They found that the brain wave rhythms of nonmusicians didnaEUR(tm)t entrain to music with a tempo less than one note per second, or what would be considered slow music. However the musiciansaEUR(tm) brain waves buzzed in synchrony to music as slow as 0.7 notes per second. aEURoeIt looks like musicians can take longer, more drawn out musical phrases and group them into a pattern of some kind,aEUR says Poeppel, aEURoethe response to what some people perceive as just a series of beeps and blips turns on much more sharply in musicians.aEUR
  
  Dr. Devin McAuley, a professor of cognitive science at Michigan State University who wasnaEUR(tm)t involved with the study says, aEURoeThese are exciting findings that fit into a broader body of work.
Paper Context: Had the task been to detect a rhythmic distortion or to tap to the beat, one might expect more nesting between delta and beta, as has been recently shown using isochronous tones . Another alternative is that the added complexity of music engages a range of other, more complex brain functions, making it difficult to detect this specific relationship using the tools available in this study.
