Brain and Music explores how, when, and where in the brain music is processed. The book is the first one to cover all core aspects of music perception with regards to their neural correlates. The coverage includes decoding of acoustic information in the auditory brainstem and thalamus; auditory feature extraction (pitch, timbre, roughness, etc.); auditory short-term memory; auditory Gestalt perception; processing of musical syntax; processing of musical meaning; music and emotion; effects of music listening on autonomic, hormonal, and immune system activity; and the effects of music listening…mehr

A comprehensive survey of the latest neuroscientific research intothe effects of music on the brain

Covers a variety of topics fundamental for music perception,including musical syntax, musical semantics, music and action,music and emotion
Includes general introductory chapters to engage a broadreadership, as well as a wealth of detailed research material forexperts
Offers the most empirical (and most systematic) work on thetopics of neural correlates of musical syntax and musicalsemantics
Integrates research from different domains (such as music,language, action and emotion both theoretically and empirically, tocreate a comprehensive theory of music psychology
