"This is your brain on music" Par Daniel J. Levitin
Voilà un petit bouquin publié par le Club "Scientific American Book Club Selection" sur lequel je viens de tomber par hasard et dont je viens d'entammer la lecture. Assez étonnant ...
Je vous donne ci-dessous un extrait de la quatrième de couverture :
In this unprecedent meeting of art and science, Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between music and the human brain.
Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples, Levitin reveals :
- How composers exploit the way our brains make sense of the world.
- Why we emotionally attach to music we listen to as teenagers.
- Why 10 000 hours of practice (not talent) makes virtuosos.
- How insidious jingles get stuck in our heads as ear worms.
Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species, pearhaps more than language.
