Jing Lu et al The Brain Functional State of Music Creation
doi: 10.1038/srep12277.
Compared composing vs resting state fMRI of 17 composers. Stronger functional connectivity appeared between anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), right angular gyrus and bilateral superior frontal gyrus during composition.
