Subject: List of References: Neurophysiology and music From: Stefan Muenkner <stefan(at)PHYSIK3.GWDG.DE> Date: Wed, 29 Mar 1995 17:21:55 +0200Hello 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: Argiris Kranidiotis, Steven M. Boker, Richard Lyon, Elizabeth Marvin, James Beauchamp, Piet G. Vos, Martin McKinney, Jont B. Allen, Kathy Barsz, Adrian Houtsma 2x J. R. Pierce, The Science of Musical Sound (Freenam, New York, 1983). 3x J. G. Roederer, Introduction to the Physics and Psychophysics of Music (Springer-Verlag, New York, 1975,1979).

Look at Fletcher's work, such as his 1953 book. It is all there, but it requires some digging. Diana Deutsch, ed., "The Psychology of Music", Academic Press, 1982. Butler, David. 1992. _The Musician's Guide to Perception and Cognition_. New York: Schirmer Books. 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.
