Josep Marco-Pallerés, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Barcelona says "Music isn't rewarding for them, even though other kinds of rewards, like money, are," he says. "It just doesn't affect them.
To find out why, researchers recruited 30 university students, each of whom had been identified as very sensitive to music, moderately sensitive, or not sensitive at all thanks to a questionnaire.
The study's results, were surprising. Although these participants were perfectly capable of perceiving when a tune was sad or happy, they didn't show physical or emotional reaction. They didn't shiver if a singer hit a high note, and their heart rate didn't increase with each crescendo.
The results were unchanged a year later, when 26 of the students took the test again. But we shouldn't mistake an indifference to music for dislike, Marco-Pallarés says.
Now that we know that there's people that are physically unable to enjoy music, I would infer that, there are certain genres of music for certain people, based on something physically, maybe. We would have to wait for another study that describe us this.
