Dancing brainwaves: How sound reshapes your brain networks in real time


What happens inside your brain when you hear a steady rhythm or musical tone? According to a new study, your brain doesn't just hear it -- it reorganizes itself in real time.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on predefined frequency bands or regions of interest, the data-driven approach maps the whole brain's internal organization with high spectral and spatial precision. This study adds to a growing body of research exploring how the brain's rhythmic structure shapes everything from music cognition to general perception and attention, and altered states of consciousness. Due to the high reliability across experimental conditions and across datasets -- FREQ-NESS might also pave the way for individualized brain mapping, explains Professor Leonardo Bonetti.
