Wired for sound: The effect of sound on the epileptic brain.

Sound waves are all around us resonating at audible and inaudible frequencies. Our ability to hear is crucial in providing information and enabling interaction with our environment. The human brain generates neural oscillations or brainwaves through synchronised electrical impulses.

Music and epilepsy: a critical review.

The effect of music on patients with epileptic seizures is complex and at present poorly understood. Clinical studies suggest that the processing of music within the human brain involves numerous cortical areas, extending beyond Heschl's gyrus and working within connected networks. These networks could be recruited during a seizure manifesting as musical phenomena.
