If true, it will revolutionize neuroscience.

It would be interesting, but 'revolutionize neuroscience' sounds a bit much.

It might revolutionise warnings against loud music. One possible consequence of this is that sound could change the way one thinks. Note that by possible I mean not ruled out, I don't mean actually possible.
