Abstract in brief

  • The study explores "musical anhedonia," a condition where individuals do not experience pleasure from music despite normal perception abilities, and finds that these individuals still respond normally to monetary rewards.
  • This dissociation indicates that the brain's reward system can be selectively impaired for music without affecting other reward responses, challenging the idea that pleasure from music is universal.
  • The findings suggest that there are individual differences in how people's reward systems are accessed or processed, which can lead to specific sensitivities like musical anhedonia.
