List of References: Neurophysiology and music

[Stefan Muenkner <stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

after my request a lot of people gave me hints towards some
literature regarding the connections between neurophysiology and
music.

Out of the answers I compiled a little list, in which duplicate
references (the Clynes book was mentioned 5 times) or those that
where explicitely concerned with more specific _psychoacoustical_
problems are omitted.


Thanks a lot to all contributors:

The 'Ossiach Conferences' organized by Roederer between 1973 and 1985,
with the conference book ''Music, Mind and Brian'' edited by Manfred Clynes
(Plenum Press, 1982) as the most complete representation.

Chapters in books like D. Deutsch, ''Psychology of Music'' (Acad. Press,
1982), or similar books by Krumhansl or Jones (most of that stuff is
psychology, but sometimes there are chapters that have deal with neural
structures.

The Journal ''Music Perception'', (4x per year, Univ. Cal. Press, formerly
D. Deutsch, presentely J. Bharucha, editor). Deutsch has reported several
perceptual experiments that imply certain neural structures. R. Zattore has
several papers that deal with measurement of cortical activity during
listening to music. Helmut Petsche in Vienna has been working on similar
things durimng the past 20 years by studying EEG activity during musical
 playing and listening performance.
