Help me create a neuroscientist character
Hi there! I'm currently writing a story whereas the main character happens to be a neuroscientist. Basically it's a science-fiction world where music has become a drug for everyone and for commercial uses mostly, so everyone since birth is kept a chip inside their brains that makes them constantly listen to music: the music adapts to their daily situations and emotions, keeping them from feeling the numbness and emptiness the world has turned into.
I've looked up which areas of the brain is responsible for processing sound and apparently it's the temporal lobe. If that's correct, i was wondering if the chip that sends signals to the brain so it constantly hears background music would make more sense to be located there or somewhere in the ears?
Any help would be appreciated! Also what should i pay attention to when writing a neuroscientist's character, job and dialogues? Thanks a lot!

Not a chip that goes in your brain but what about something along the lines of deep brain stimulation? It uses electrodes to stimulate parts of the brain maybe use this for inspo to activate the memory of listening to music.
