Subject: Science and Music From: Bill Thompson <Bill.Thompson@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:23:20 +1000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail-18--850200481 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed In case some are not aware: there is an ongoing series of short essays on Science and Music, published in the journal Nature. Here is a link to the series: (6 essays published so far and 3 more to go). http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/scienceandmusic/ And here is a link where people can give feedback on the series: http://network.nature.com/forums/naturenewsandopinion/1754 I've been finding the essays interesting and representative of current research and theory, but would also be interested to know what others think, or to hear any contrasting perspectives.
