is provided by several fMRI and PET studies (for a review see Janata and Grafton, 2003 and Patel, 2003) showing a considerable overlap of regions implicated in the perception-action cycle of music and areas involved in the perception, memorization and production of abstract sequences as well as language and syntax. In addition, significant differences in activation by the Mozart sonata (in comparison to Beethoven’s Für Elise) in the dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex, occipital cortex and cerebellum (all expected to be important for spatio-temporal reasoning) were reported in a recent fMRI study (Bodner et al., 2001).
