Seriously though, I recall newspaper reports of scientific studies in which MRIs of folks with perfect pitch were noticeably different from those of us with mere relative pitch. While there may be some genetic predisposition to this talent, early music training appeared to be an essential factor for the development of the "perfect pitch" zone in the brain. The above, however, is my recollection of a newpaper article, based on a reporter's interviews and reading of some scientific journal article. Does anyone have references on this article?
