Exploring 'Your Brain on Music' Author Daniel Levitin wrote about how the brain responds to sound in This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession. FARAI CHIDEYA, host: Hey, maybe you don't like this song, but Daniel Levitin thinks even if you're hating it, what's going on in your brain right now is fascinating. Mr. DANIEL LEVITIN : I like to define music as organized sound because that's an inclusive definition. Mr. LEVITIN: Well, I think, you know, of course music's in the ear of the beholder, right?
