The Cognitive Neuroscience of Music
Specialists from the fields of music, neuroscience, psychology, and neurology describe advances in understanding the complex relationship between music and the brain. Intended for psychologists and neuroscientists, contributions address the origins of music, the musical mind, the neurons of music, musical brain substrates, musical expertise and brain plasticity, and the relation of music to other cognitive domains. Articles are drawn from a May 2000 conference and most previously appeared in The Biological Foundations of Music, Volume 930 of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, June 2001. 1.
