Teen brain data used to predict the success of a pop song

Teen brain data can be used to predict the success of a pop song, according to the latest findings of scientists at Emory University. They performed an experiment where they got a group of twenty-seven teenagers, aged 12-17 and played them music 120 songs from MySpace pages of relatively unknown musicians without recording contracts. The researchers recorded the teenagers' neural reactions through functional magnetic resolution imaging (fMRI). They were also asked to rate each song on a scale of one to five.
