Coloured patches mark each theme on the model (gold gigs, blue work, teal reading, rose writing); grey is everything else. Work and writing sit on the frontal lobe (dorsal and inferior frontal cortex); gigs and reading lean temporal–parietal but still pull in frontal circuits. Nudge data-position if your camera angle changes.
Gigs
Listening, pitch, and rhythm lean on auditory and superior temporal cortex; performing and improvisation also recruit premotor and prefrontal circuits (motor planning, working memory, reward).
Set lists, bass coaching, and performance tools.
Work
Planning, prioritising, and goal-directed control are classic frontal lobe jobs — especially dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — with parietal and anterior cingulate support for attention and conflict monitoring.
Day job, dev tools, and professional profile.
Reading
Reading is mostly temporal–parietal (visual word form area, angular gyrus), but skilled readers also use left inferior frontal cortex for phonology, prediction, and integrating meaning.
Shelf, articles, and long-form tabs you want to keep visible.
Writing
Writing is anchored in the frontal lobe: left inferior frontal cortex (Broca’s area, BA44/45) for spelling and sentence assembly, plus parietal and motor areas for typing or handwriting.
