Music is clearly different from lan

Music is clearly different from language. People can, nevertheless, use it to communicate things – especially their emotions – and when with speech in a song, it is one of the most powerful means of communication that humans have. But what, biologically speaking, is it? If music is truly distinct from speech, then it ought to have a distinct processing mechanism in the brain – one that keeps it separate from the interpretation of other sounds, including language. The evidence suggests that such a separate mechanism does, indeed,exist.
Scientific curiosity about the auditory system dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1861 Paul Broca, a French surgeon, observed that speech was impaired by damage to a particular part of the brain, now known as Broca’s area. In 1874 Carl Wernicke, a German neurologist, made a similar observation about another brain area and was similarly immortalized. The location of different language-processing tasks in Broca’s areas (found in the brain’s left temporal lobe, above the ear) was one of the first pieces of evidence that different bits of the brain are specialized to do different jobs.
