Zusammenfassung
Research on how the brain processes music is emerging as a rich and
stimulating area of investigation of perception, memory, emotion,
and performance. Results emanating from both lesion studies and neuroimaging
techniques are reviewed and integrated for each of these musical
functions. We focus our attention on the common core of musical abilities
shared by musicians and nonmusicians alike. Hence, the effect of
musical training on brain plasticity is examined in a separate section,
after a review of the available data regarding music playing and
reading skills that are typically cultivated by musicians. Finally,
we address a currently debated issue regarding the putative existence
of music-specific neural networks. Unfortunately, due to scarcity
of research on the macrostructure of music organization and on cultural
differences, the musical material under focus is at the level of
the musical phrase, as typically used in Western popular music.
