Music, brain function, functional brain asymmetryAbstract
This article discusses the relationships between music and neuroscience particularly the brain organization of musical functions. Functional imaging studies found that lateralization and topography of brain activation depend on multiple factors such as familiarity to musical stimuli, cognitive strategy evolving melodic, rhythmic and timbre perception and previous musical training. Changes in brain electrical activity is suggested by musicogenic epilepsy, through phenomenological descriptions of partial seizures with “musical” symptoms and anedoctical reports of changes of interictal activity induced by listening to Mozart music.
