On certain instruments, the time between the musician’s action to play a note and when that note is heard isn’t negligible. For example, when I press a piano key, there’s some milliseconds between when my finger first touches the ivory and when the hammer strikes the string. Does the brain compensate for this delay when it tells the fingers to play notes? I guess it must, otherwise the musician would be playing out of time with everyone else. Fucking fascinating. Neural networks…I wish average human lifetimes were 500 years. That way, after a fulfilling career in one area of interest, I could go back to school and pursue something else like neurology, and repeat that 3 more times with other subjects, allotting 100 years per career. There is so much cool shite in this world.
