The Great Courses Music and the Brain DVDs

The Great Courses Music and the Brain 3 DVDsMusic is part of our most important rituals, and it has been the medium of some of our greatest works of art. Yet even though music is intimately woven into the fabric of our lives, that fact itself remains puzzling, provoking questions such as: How and why did musical behavior originate? What gives mere tones such a powerful effect on our emotions? Are we born with our sense of music, or do we acquire it? In the last 20 years, researchers have come closer to solving these riddles. Do the brains of musicians differ from non-musicians? Can musical training promote cognitive development? Is there a deep connection between music and language? Join neuroscientist and professor of psychology Dr. Aniruddh Patel to probe one of the mind’s most profound mysteries. Covering the latest research findings - from the origins of music’s emotional powers to the deficits involved in amusia, or the inability to hear music - these 18 enthralling lectures will make you think about music and your brain in a new way.
