Nice!
We've been telling them that for years

it seems science giveth and taketh away

 although actually to read the article you could transpose  the word guitarist to  any musician
 and I bet drummers would be even more extreme in an MRI

Drummers don't have brains... the good ones have metronomes...

agreed but would still be interested in the MRI data
 
 The technical difficulties of rigging a drumkit so that it could be played whilst the drummer was lying in the MRI...

[Highlander]

No can do... it would rip out the metronome... then they'd be called vocalists...

Seems like everyone but maybe the singer is of a special breed. And singers who can harmonize well get my vote for probably belonging on the list as well.

hadnt thought of the magnet aspect, I guess the guitards in the study must have played acoustics as a MRI would shred the pickups if it was close enough to be played by someone with his head in it surely ?
