Magnetoencephalography evidence for different brain subregions serving two musical cultures

► Bimusicals handle two distinct musical-syntactic rules in each musical culture. ► We investigated brain activity underlying tonal differentiation between two cultures. ► Both types of music (M1, M2) elicited mERAN reflecting processing of tonal structure. ► Source locations of mERAN for M1 and M2 were separated within IFG/PMC areas.
