The reason being because when you 're being creative you 're using your right hemisphere and when you 're doing this that require logic you 're using the right so if you 're doing the math and listening to music is could potentially have the same effect . And with more brain power used for performing a task, there could be a growth in the preference and efficiency of completing a cognitive
