He didn't specify any particular tuning, I'm thinking that that's not that relevant. But he did say indicate something I kind of knew already.

Through studies of people with brain damage, we’ve seen patients who have lost the ability to read a newspaper but can still read music, or individuals who can play the piano but lack the motor coordination to button their own sweater. Music listening, performance and composition engage nearly every area of the brain that we have identified, and involve nearly every neural subsystem.

Before Covid hit I played music for people in a dementia memory unit at a nursing home every Monday for over a year. I was totally amazed at what music did for these folks. They would even remember some words to the songs like "You Are My Sunshine" and others and sing along. I spoke to a High School Band Teacher and discussed what I had been witnessing with these folks. He told me there has been a lot of studies of the brain and music therapy. He said music is embedded in our brains from a very early age and is one of the last things the brain remembers. I was thinking stuff like twinkle little star and so on. It is very interesting indeed.
