Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): Daniel J. Levitin
Publisher: Plume/Penguin
Number of Pages: 322
In this groundbreaking union of art and science rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J Levitin explores the connection between musicits performance its composition how we listen to it why we enjoy itand 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 heads
And taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species perhaps even more so than language This Is Your Brain on Music is an unprecedented eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature
