Description

The Neuroscience of Bach�s Music: Perception, Action, and Cognition Effects on the Brain is a comprehensive study of Johann Sebastian Bach�s music through the lens of neuroscience and examining neuroscience using Bach�s music as a tool. This book synthesizes cognitive neuroscience, music theory, and musicology to provide insights into human cognition and perception. It also explores how a neuroscience perspective can improve listening and performing experiences for Bach�s music.

Written by a physician-neuroscientist recognized for scholarly articles on Bach�s music, this book uses specific examples to explore neuroscience across Bach�s compositions. The book is structured to discuss the brain�s action, perception, and cognition as connected to specific Bach concertos, tones, notes, and performances. Two guest contributors provide insight into exact mathematical, or topologic, and music theoretic aspects of Bach�s music with implications for cognitive neuroscience.

The Neuroscience of Bach�s Music: Perception, Action, and Cognition Effects on the Brain is a vital source for neuroscientists, especially those studying the cognitive effects of music, as well as musicians and students alike.

• Links specific features and unique characteristics of Bach�s music to perceptual and cognitive neuroscience processes
• Requires only an interest in music or basic music training
• Accompanied by a companion website with music examples mentioned in the book
