 note = {Music is common to all cultures. In spite of the fact that music lacks specific sound-concept association, musical communication has not been totally replaced by more precise verbal language communications. Certain impressions and emotions, which are difficult to be defined clearly by verbal languages, can often be conveyed more successfully by direct musical intuition than verbal languages. Harmonic intervals such as octave, fifth, fourth, or third, which are spontaneously preferred by individuals of various backgrounds, are an integral component of music. While pitch and chords are simultaneous patterns, rhythm, lyric, and prosody are sequential patterns. Cortical representation of music, even without lyric, has to be global in the brain utilizing basic components inherent to the human brain. This makes music an especially attractive subject to be studied in search for neuronal substrates of complex higher brain function.},
