The video deals with specific stimuli but how do we quantify what must be present in a rhythm or melody or harmony? What about discordant music? What about the speed, the register being played. What about pop music that repeats simple patterns? Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

So, since people are working with and developing inate (musical) abilities, a person simply has more or less to work with going in, and they are likely to have more or less inclination to work with it, as well. Hardly casts shade on the idea of birds of a feather, but does explain why "some people will never get it", "it" being any one or combination of the 3 pillars. This displaces but does not seem to negate vivid imagination, which I experienced as a child.
