“Music may shape the brain by syncing with its natural rhythms. A major neuroscience review suggests that music is not processed only as sound entering the ears. It may also work by interacting with the brain's own rhythmic activity... The idea is called neural resonance theory... Harding et al., 'Musical neurodynamics', Nature Reviews…”

The paper exists and is correctly cited. According to the journal abstract, a great deal of research in the neuroscience of music suggests that neural oscillations synchronize with musical stimuli, and although neural synchronization is a well-studied mechanism underpinning expectation, it has even more far-reaching implications for music . The paper is a Perspective piece in which Edward Large and colleagues examine the neuroscience of music, placing their focus on neural resonance theory, which summarizes how the dynamics of fundamental neural mechanisms can explain various aspects of music perception and performance . Coverage of the paper describes the theory as follows: a new international study supports Neural Resonance Theory (NRT), which suggests that music perception and enjoyment arise from natural brain and body oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody, and harmony. Unlike prediction-based models, NRT proposes that our brains physically resonate with music, shaping timing, pleasure, and the instinct to move . The McGill release adds that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain's natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony , and the Queen Mary summary describes it as explaining how the brain's own rhythms synchronise with musical elements like beat, harmony, and melody to create emotion, anticipation, and movement, with NRT proposing that music perception is rooted in physical processes: the brain's neural oscillations naturally resonate with the structure of music .
