Is it possible that L. van Beethoven's musical imagery was even intensified by deafness, for with the removal of normal auditory input, the auditory cortex may become hypersensitive, with heightened powers of musical imagery?

Did L. van Beethoven become totally deaf?

Our susceptibility to musical imagery indeed requires exceedingly sensitive and refined systems for perceiving and remembering music. It is connected only with rational side of human being. Is the last statement true?

Based on the information presented by our experts, which of the following statements detailing our current understanding of the representation of music and language functions in the brain is FALSE?Group of answer choicesThere have been reports of cases presenting with impaired musical processing with intact language function, which suggests that music and language have distinct neural mechanisms.A number of neuroimaging studies have shown significant overlap of activation in brain regions such as auditory cortices, supplementary motor areas during language and musical listening tasks, which has been taken as evidence of sharing of music and speech processing.fMRI studies have reported shared activation patterns involving the frontal cortical regions for perception of speech and for songs with and without lyrics.There is evidence of shared neural activation during melodic and sentence generation as well as evidence that left hemisphere favours processing of language during sentence generation.

Cognitive neuroscientists used deep brain stimulation to disrupt participants' memories of a recently learned melody, thus implicating the right parietal lobe as an area critical to music perception. Group of answer choicesTrueFalse
