Cognitive Neuroscience of Music

Zusatztext There are few things more exciting than an entirely new scientific field, a new attempt to understand another aspect of our human existence - now it's music's turn. Here is a collection of papers from leaders in the discipline, trying to tease apart exactly what goes on inside the brain when it experiences music. It is a bafflingly huge subject and the editors should be applauded for bringing so much expertise to a single tome... The book is a mixed bag, some chapters are far more accessible than others to the general neuroscientist - but this is a minor criticism. Each chapter of the book plays like a section of a small orchestra, contributing to the magnificent whole. Zusammenfassung This volume brings together a collection of international authorities - from the fields of music! neuroscience! psychology and neurology - to describe the progress being made in understanding the complex relationship between music and the brain.
