Music is ubiquitous in our environment. A question in this course is how music is processed in our brain and how we can design the environment and change our brain functions with music. Recently, an emerging research field of Music and Neuroscience (“Neuromusic”) has been elucidating the neural correlates of music perception, cognition, and performance. In this course, I will overview what has been known so far in the Neuromusic research from the integrated point of view of Neuroscience, Evolutional Biology, Developmental Brain Science, Human Movement Science, and Cognitive Science.
