SV: just my 2 cents of absolute/perfect/whatever

[Linda Stråhle]

A friend of mine did some research on this with socalled perferct pitch.

He came up with that childhood apearing pp.
If the child learned names of the notes or somehow recognized them on the keyboard before the age of three. At that age the brain work like a "bigbrain", and  left and right side works as one unit. Later on the brain separates the two sides. But however it stills remember how to identify notes or sounds with the same connection or disconnection. 
I'm not a brain speciallist but I know that the left side is the logical, mathematical one, and the right is the musically and emotional one.

I am not sure of witch part of the brain that controlles me...
