So now we have quantitative proof that the Ancient Greeks' views on
music were correct.

Music is not an art but a science, with well defined laws that
enable the musician to induce specific effects and emotions in the
listener.

So explain how Western peoples feel sad in minor keys
while Middle Eastern peoples do not, just to mention
one non-universal emotional reaction.

I don't think emotional reactions are as directly connected with usage of specific brain centers. As the success of cognitive therapy for some problems, emotional reactions are learned. Cultures help teach that, too.
