Count me in please. I didn't really understand the research. Yes, the brain does things when we listen to music. Or to people talking. Or the sound of rain, or a passing train, a barking dog, a gaggle of kids playing in the back yard... but what it does changes depending on how we subjectively judge the sounds we hear. Do you like the music or not, does the barking dog annoy you or pleasantly remind you of a puppy you had as a kid and so on? Also, the same sounds evoke different responses depending on the situation - Lady Gaga at full blast might be ok after a few beer at the pub but I don't enjoy it for breakfast, and barking dogs makes me nervous in the middle of the night though I just wish they'd shut up if they bark in the daytime.
