Synopsis

The intricate relationships between music and human neurological makeup as well as the ways in which music can influence neurological development will be explored in this meeting, which is a continuation and expansion of two meetings that have preceded it. Workshops will be held in which researchers will present findings on the evaluation of musical disorders, music and neuroimaging, music and development, and music and neurophysiology. The use and impact of music therapy will be discussed in a roundtable format. Do animals have music? How is music similar to language? How is music represented mentally? The meeting will address these questions and many others surrounding this exciting and growing field that generates interest far beyond the boundaries of the neuroscientific world, encompassing education, musical performance, and the appreciation of music by all peoples. The final day of the meeting will feature presentations on neurological disorders and music, music performance, and emotion in music.
