I've been suspecting this all the time since I started playing
improvised music in 1976. But I can't say, subjectively, what part of
my perception are cause by these "brain mutations" or what parts are
caused by normal learning. As I said in an earlier post, that also was
referring to these scientific findings: it would be interesting to see
this research on musical improvisers related to other research on
brain reactions under meditation, breathing exercises and other sort
of improvisation besides musical improvisation.
