Turns out, it may be because of how your brain is wired. As reported in the Journal of Neuroscience, a recent small study of brain scans revealed that those who were tone-deaf had fewer connections between two areas of the brain that perceive and produce sounds (in the frontal and temporal regions of the brain). Not sure if you’re tone-deaf? There is a distorted tunes test that you can take.

I have a friend who could really use this. He’s super tone-deaf, but he loves to sing and I just don’t have the heart to tell him.
He’s also colorblind. Do you have any ideas for games I could get for him to help him realize that he’s a great guy but he’s not as normal as he thinks?
