First, people speculate that music was created through rhythmic movement—think: tapping ‎your foot. Second, some reward-related areas in the brain are connected with motor areas. ‎Third, mounting evidence suggests that we are sensitive and attuned to the movements of ‎others' bodies, because similar brain regions are activated when certain movements are both ‎made and observed. For example, the motor regions of professional dancers' brains show ‎more activation when they watch other dancers compared with people who don't dance.‎
