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.

你知道吗,儿歌《玛丽有只小羊羔》(Mary Had a Little Lamb)和《两只老虎》(Are You Steeping?)的前七个音有着完全相同的节奏,只有音高不同。(这两首歌曲可以在网易云音乐或者QQ音乐直接搜“我们为什么爱音乐”,在这个歌单中找到。本文中提到的所有歌曲都可以在这个歌单...

哎又是啃的日译 片假名歌名曲名给我整的… 就离谱。(意外种草了joni mitchell的早期)。虽然是06年的书了 作为科普还不错。 但为啥我这一年看过的英翻日的读物 都是这种啰里八嗦的文风哎。 作者都是浅浅的巨能扯。 但作者生平和其中要研究河整体而不是舀一杯河里的水类似的这个观点多少有一点点小共鸣了。 06年这个方向和音乐 认知 神经科学一类的搭关系的研究人员居然只有250人左右。 可曾想现在... 哎又是啃的日译 片假名歌名曲名给我整的… 就离谱。(意外种草了joni mitchell的早期)。虽然是06年的书了 作为科普还不错。 但为啥我这一年看过的英翻日的读物 都是这种啰里八嗦的文风哎。 作者都是浅浅的巨能扯。 但作者生平和其中要研究河整体而不是舀一杯河里的水类似的这个观点多少有一点点小共鸣了。 06年这个方向和音乐 认知 神经科学一类的搭关系的研究人员居然只有250人左右。 可曾想现在是个什么样子了😂。 这近20年的进步说快也快 说慢也慢。硬件和软件的研究各自发展得挺好?中间转换过程仍然黑箱?。没有机会学好数理化真的遗憾一辈子。 作者强调的小脑在音乐处理过程中的的作用参与应该这几年是没少提的感觉。甚至让我想到标注前一本的美学中也涉及到了运动和艺术的比较。 (展开)

对于非音乐专业人士来说很难渎,而且前面花了起码三分之一的篇幅很深入地讲音乐基础知识,非常枯燥
