This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession Tapa blanda - 2007
de Daniel J. Levitin
Neuroscientist and professional musician Levitin presents a fascinating exploration of the relationship between music and the mind--and the role of melodies in shaping our lives. Photos throughout.
Resumen
Music, Science, and the Brain are more closely related than you think. Daniel J. Levitin, James McGill Professor of Psychology and Music at McGill University, shows you why this is.
In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin (The World in Six Songs) explores the connection between music, its performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it, and the human brain. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, Levitin reveals:
- How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world
- Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre
- That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise
- How those insidious little jingles (called earworms) get stuck in our head

Reseñas en medios
Levitin is a deft and patient explainer of the basics for the non-scientist as well as the non-musician. . . . By tracing musicÆs deep ties to memory, Levitin helps quantify some of musicÆs magic without breaking its spell. (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
Endlessly stimulating, a marvelous overview, and one which only a deeply musical neuroscientist could give. . . . An important book. (Oliver Sacks, M.D.)
LevitinÆs snappy prose and relaxed style quickly win one over and will leave readers thinking about the contents of their iPods in an entirely new way. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Why human beings make and enjoy music is, in LevitinÆs telling, a delicious story. (Salon.com)
