There are different parts of the brain people use the "right" and "left" hemispheres are too basic to categorize the most complex machine in existence. I am listening to music, and thinking about songs that I love and don't like, and songs that are classics and songs that are flops, there is a science to it I think. Actually, although I hate to say it, I believe there's a science to everything - even creativity. Great screenwriters have lots of creativity to think of the things they think of, but they also have a good formula, that can be broken down in an A does this to B, and B does this to C style. I read that ABC stuff in a book about screen-writing, and on Sesame Street.

Rhythm is formulated.
Try to remember a favorite song. Now forget the words and think of the music. There was probably a certain melody that snagged your attention and soothed your mind. If there wasn't and your insistent that it was the singer, then why aren't the shelves at music stores stocked with a Capella?
Back to the topic the melody was a combination of sounds put together in a way that you liked. You could take the same sounds and mix them in another way and you might not like it, but they were still the same sounds. If that's the case, don't you think there could be a way we could figure out why particular combinations are soothing to us; for instance, the snare drum that taps 4 beats per second mixed with the saxophone playing in key to the rhythm super basic at first, but there are hundreds of trillions of music combinations out there, and that's music never seems to get old, it just changes real quick fact I must throw in music stimulates the brain through vibrations so technically you enjoy a song because it stimulates your brain.
The whole points is - what if we figured out which combinations of music stimulate our brains the most and then plug these combinations into a super computer that calculates the "ultimate" song or songs. I think hearing the ultimate song would unlock a part of our brain that we were incapable of using or allow us to finally use a part we never could before (like finally being able to wiggle your ears).
Hearing the ultimate song could make us smarter it might allow us to see things like the Matrix. Or it could cause us to go crazy, or it could cause the crazy people to go normal and the normal people to go crazy. But then again, who decided what a normal brain wave would look like anyway? I think that's like deciding where the circle
