Computers algorithm were used to identify specific aspects of the music, which the researchers were able to match with specific activated 5 brain areas. The researchers found that vocal 6 and  instrumental music get treated differently. Well, both hemispheres of the brain deals with musical  features, the presence of lyrics 7, shifts the  processing of musical features to the left auditory cortex. These results suggests that the brain's hemispheres are specialized 8 for different kinds of song processing. A finding revealed by what you might call instrumental analysis.
