Aniruddh Patel of Tufts University has argued that music and language, rather than being essentially the same,rely on the same bit of the brain.In an experiment he presented his subjects with a sentence that contained a grammatical trick("The scientist confirmed the hypothesis was being studied in his lab"),revealing one word at a time.The subjects were to press a button for each word at their own pace.Many paused at the unexpected"was"."The scientist confirmed the hypothesis"seemed a complete sentence. They also heard music as they performed this exercise.Some were treated to a new chord (in a pleasing progression with every word that was revealed.Others heard an annoying chord at the moment they reached the trick word "was".Both groups slowed down-but those given the discordant 谐的)notes did so much more. Another striking contrast lies in the range of human talent for each ability.Nearly all children produce complex sentences by the age of three and become fluent speakers just a few years after that.By contrast,only a minority of adults are talented musicians;even fewer are skilled composers of new works. Victor Wooten,a music teacher,points out,children learn to talk by being constantly surrounded by fluent older speakers who are practicing with them almost from birth.Their awkward efforts are encouraged.On the other hand, students of music often keep company with other beginners,and are stopped when having a mistake. It is not that simple,thinks Jay Keyser,a
