dropping some voltron but it's neuroscience cause its been a while (and my finals are eating my brain)

quick biology class: the "mafimusia" people all have amusia, which is a musical disorder that makes you unable to recognize pitch difference.

usually, people who have amusia but speak a tonal language (like Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese or in this case here, Olkarian) can get better at recognizing pitch difference since, in their language, there is a differentiation in the pitch when speaking some words.

(ps; mafimusia is from arabic; Mafi Musi2a which means "there is no music")

TONE DEAFNESS

It's "I couldn't think of a catchy name Tuesday"

Tone deafness or Cogential Amusia is charactized by the inability to recognise tunes or differentiate one tune from another.

In extreme cases, amusics have described music as the sound of clanging pots and pans and seek to avoid places with loud music. However other people with amusia find it pleasant.

Many amusics have reported being able to recall some of the lyrics to a song they just heard while not being able to remember the tune.

Due to being unable to differentiate tune, an amusic person can't tell if their tune is wrong while singing.

Amusia is not related to hearing loss. You can have perfect hearing, and the I side of your ears can reapond to pitch just fine, and you can still have Amusia.

How? Well,

Researchs found that amusic people's difficulties on the test stemmed from delayed or otherwise impaired functioning of two areas of the brain, the frontal and auditory cortexes, during the early encoding of melodic information.

They also detected physical abnormalities in those brain areas. For example, they had more grey matter and less white matter than is usual in the frontal cortex. This "convergence of functional and structural brain differences" appears to explain people with congential amusia's inability to both process pitch and retain short-term memory of melodies.

@lil-tumbles I hope all my info is correct
