Subject: Music and the brain From: Daniel Levitin <levitin@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2006 23:05:57 -0400Dear list, I'm pleased to announce the publication of my new book, "This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" (Dutton/Penguin Books). It is not intended for the specialist researcher, but rather is intended as a guide for the educated layperson to recent findings about the cognitive neuroscience of music listening and performance. It might also be suitable as an undergraduate text for a music cognition course. It's available from the usual on-line sites and bookstores, and there is a website for the book at www.YourBrainOnMusic.com. Dan Levitin
