  • The study, which will appear in the April issue of Nature Neuroscience, is the first to provide concrete evidence that playing a musical instrument significantly enhances the brainstem's sensitivity to speech sounds. This finding has broad implications because it applies to sound encoding skills involved not only in music but also in language.

  Interesting research on changes in the brain due to music training. I'm not sure if their conclusion is entirely justified--they may have gotten those results just because it was a tone language. More concrete evidence that music training is beneficial is always welcome.
