Abstract

Did you ever ask whether music makes people smart, why a Parkinson patient's gait is improved with marching tunes, and whether Robert Schumann was suffering from schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease? This broad but comprehensive book deals with history and new discoveries about music and the brain. It provides a multi-disciplinary overview on music processing, its effects on brain plasticity, and the healing power of music in neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this context, the disorders the plagued famous musicians and how they affected both performance and composition are critically.

Abstract

The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, co-ordinate their hands, fingers, eyes, and perhaps throat and diaphragm. These achievements are of course the product of hundreds, even thousands of hours of practice-playing scales, studies, time and time again. But those hours of practice by no means guarantee that great musicianship will result. This technical prowess has to be combined with a range of other, perhaps, less tangible qualities. This book explores the secrets of musical virtuosity. It presents a comprehensive account of music and motor cognition, examining the neural basis of music making - our understanding of which is just starting to be enhanced by brain imaging. It considers the effect on our brains of prolonged music making. It explores the motor processes across a range of instruments (vocal, string, wind, percussion) and within different performance situations. It also considers what happens when things start to go wrong - why motor problems occur in so many professional musicians in later life, and the possible therapies for such problems. Music is a topic of considerable interest within the brain sciences. With contributions from leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and neurologists, this book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of music and the brain.

Abstract

Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the aggressive barking of a pet dog, and the longing meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive. Are there universal principles governing our own communication system? Can we even see how close animals are related to us by constructing an evolutionary tree based on similarities and dissimilarities in acoustic signaling?Research on the role of emotions in acoustic communication and its evolution has often been neglected, despite its obvious role in our daily life. When we infect

Abstract

Cet ouvrage de recherche fondamentale et appliquée intéressera non seulement les chercheurs et étudiants avancés de plusieurs disciplines situées au sein ou aux frontières des sciences cognitives (psychologie cognitive, psycholinguistique, neuropsychologie, neurosciences, musicologie…), mais aussi tous ceux qui aiment la musique. Il illustre le foisonnement récent des connaissances neuroscientifiques au sujet de la musique – art et jouissance de plus en plus présents dans notre vie quotidienne – et de ses relations avec le langage et les émotions. Les spécialistes les plus renommés y abordent la perception des structures musicales dans ses relations avec le langage (Barbara Tillmann et coll. ; Emmanuel Bigand et coll.), le rôle et l'importance des émotions dans la musique ainsi que les éventuels dysfonctionnements du traitement de ces émotions (Oliver Grewe et coll. ; Séverine Samson et coll. ; Régine Kolinsky et coll.), et, enfin, les troubles profonds d'origine congénitale des capacités musicales (Isabelle Peretz et coll.). Les principaux moyens d'investigation scientifique dans le domaine de la cognition musicale (comportemental, électrophysiologique, étude de patients et des activations cérébrales, simulation par « réseaux neuronaux ») y sont aussi représentés. Comme l'écrivent les organisateurs, dans le domaine de la musique, « en matière de connaissances scientifiques, que ce soit par le brassage des techniques ou par le métissage des domaines, notre défi pour le futur sera de chanter en chœur ».
