Playing music alters the processing of multiple sensory stimuli in the brain

Over the years pianists develop a particularly acute sense of the temporal correlation between the movements of the piano keys and the sound of the notes played. However, they are no better than non-musicians at assessing the synchronicity of lip movements and speech.

Sequence is a good way to waste your time and stimulating too!
