“During the first six months or so of life… the infant brain is unable to clearly distinguish the source of sensory inputs”

Daniel Levitin (1957) American psychologist

This is Your Brain on Music (2006)
Context: During the first six months or so of life... the infant brain is unable to clearly distinguish the source of sensory inputs; vision, hearing, and touch meld into a unitary perceptual representation.... inputs from the various sensory receptors may connect to many different parts of the brain, pending pruning that will occur later in life. As Simon Baron-Cohen has described it, with all this sensory cross talk, the infant lives in a state of complete psychodelic splendor (without the aid of drugs).
