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.

看着看着，应该说是听着听着就糊涂了，因为太多科学知识了。开头挺吸引人的，中间部分感觉有点眉毛胡子一把抓。

年少成名的音乐家在而立之年之后重回学院，并成为音乐感知和认知科学领域声名远扬的学者。Levitin的写作与自身的传奇经历并没有出入，他以音乐人的创造性与热情，加之研究者的固执与广博，探索了人与音乐这个特殊载体的互动。没有乐理知识的读者不仅不被拒之千里，反而被简明可感的带入了一个由节奏，韵律，声调，节拍，音高，与音质的曼妙世界。一本不可多得的认知与音乐领域的入门作品。
