McGill University cognitive psychologist Daniel Levitin, author of This Is Your Brain on Music, invited Sting to undergo a recently developed imaging-analysis technique. Sting's brain activity while he listened to Englishman in New York and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was one example. The findings provide evidence that Sting's brain is finely attuned to keep track of tempo, pitch, genres, composers and eras. ​The findings on Sting's brain were published in the journal Neurocase. Scans show Sting's brain as he imagined and listened to music.
