"Music's effects on the brain: The brain can be modified by music. Musicians
have a thicker cortex in the auditory areas and changes in the frontal lobes.
Musical imagery is the ability to evoke music in the mind's ear, even when
the music isn't present. Beethoven became deaf yet composed remarkable music,
presumably because he could hear it internally. When you imagine sounds, you can
recover enough information to make judgments about them. Perceiving and
imagining have some overlap, and the auditory cortex is active even during
imagining."
