   One area of the brain associated with interpreting visual information is the parietal lobe, so this is stimulated when I read and understand guitar tabs to know what notes to play. It also involves touch, so it is used when feeling which strings to pluck or strum.
   The cerebellum comprehends sensory information and coordinates movements, such as strumming the guitar.

   The hypothalamus controls what parts of the brain are active and causes the transition to sleep.
   The pons is where REM sleep (when most dreaming occurs) originates.

   The frontal lobe is involved in tasks from memory to problem solving to motor function. Voluntary movements, such as using a pencil and eraser, are coordinated here.
   The left hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body, and I am using my right hand to draw.

   The amygdala controls fear responses and controls the perception of other emotions; if, say, a jump-scare video comes up on YouTube, the amygdala would be used in my reaction to it.
   The occipital lobes are responsible for vision and processing information from it, such as any web page that is up.

It is also responsible for processing memories and associating them with sounds or other sensory information, such as music.
   Wernicke's area is responsible for the comprehension of speech, or in this case, lyrics.
   Broca's area is also associated with language, though it is responsible for the production of it; this area may be stimulated while singing along to a song.
