Different tasks such as mathematical processing or problem solving activate different areas of the brain. It was once thought that music was purely a right-brained activity. However, research using imaging technologies (such as functional MRI and positron emission tomography) that allow scientists to study the brain in real time, show otherwise. We now know that listening to music leads to activity in both sides of the brain, including areas responsible for language.
