Researchers show brain rhythms sync with sound to create emotion, movement and meaning

McGill University
Summary:
Your brain and body literally “sync” with music, according to new research. Instead of just understanding rhythm, our neural circuits physically resonate with it—shaping how we feel and move to music. This could lead to breakthroughs in therapy, education, and emotionally aware AI.

January 12, 2026
Source:
Cell Press/ Science Daily
Summary:
A small group of people experience no pleasure from music despite normal hearing and intact emotions. Brain imaging reveals that their auditory and reward systems fail to properly communicate, leaving music emotionally flat. Researchers developed a questionnaire to measure how rewarding music feels across emotions, mood, movement, and social connection. The findings suggest pleasure isn’t all-or-nothing and may depend on how specific brain networks connect.
