Rhythm, Music, and the Brain: Scientific
Foundations and Clinical Applications
(From the back cover) “Recent advances in study of the human brain have
revealed music’s unexpected importance to modern cognitive neuroscience. Rhythm,
Music, and the Brain unites art and science to examine the integral role
played specifically by rhythm in our perception of music and its known
neurobiological foundations. The text provides a thorough examination of the
current state of research, including the biomedical applications of neurologic
music therapy in sensorimotor, speech, and cognitive rehabilitation.”
This is the standard text
for Neurologic Music Therapists, including a systematic presentation of all
clinical techniques, a thorough and comprehensive review of the research
literature, and an in-depth discussion of scientific and aesthetic theories
underlying neurologic music therapy practice. It is also a useful text for
other medical and therapy professionals, as well as researchers interested in
music, biomedicine, and the brain.
