The Science of music and the music of science
Montague, Michael J.
The Science of music and the music of science how music reveals our brain, our humanity, and the Cosmos Michael J. Montague, Ph.D. - St. Louis, MO Cosmic Music, LLC 2019 - vii, 208 p. ill., charts
Science and music—scientists and musicians—are inseparable and symbiotic. For over 2,500 years, music has inspired scientific investigation and progress. In return, science has provided musicians with untold numbers of valuable insights into their art and craft, as well as many powerful technologies.
The last 25 years have witnessed an even more intimate connection. Neuroscience now possesses new tools to image living human brains in real time as our brains engage in specific tasks. In using these powerful tools, neuroscientists have discovered that nothing demands more of human cognitive abilities than music-making and consequently, neuroscience now relies frequently upon music as an amazingly effective research probe.
