Music and the Mind
This course explores music processing in the human brain and the neuropsychological study of music. Topics include emotional and multisensory responses to music, multicultural influences on music perceptions, neurochemical responses to music, cognitive functioning (e.g., memory, attention, and language) and music, developmental issues in music and the brain, and neuropsychological music therapy. Although being able to play an instrument or read music may be helpful in this course, it is not required.
