To the extent that classical training is about 'flawless performance' and jazz 'training' is about 'fluid improvisation', in my experience these are very different skills.
The question is: how does such a study decide whether the 'brains ... work differently' because the tasks are so unalike, or because the brains themselves are somehow different.
Another question is proficiency: clearly 'virtuoso' pianists are different from 'amateurs' on both sides of the aisle. Are the brains of the 'virtuosos' more 'different'?
