Author Description

As Cognitive Psychologist And Neuroscientist Aniruddh Patel (2010) States, Music Is A Biologically Powerful Human Invention, Or A 'transformative Technology Of The Mind' (p. 91). Experimental Psychology Less Often Considers The Personality Of The Listener And The Composer Or The Role Of Music In A Given Society, Although This Attitude Is Gradually Changing. These Aspects Are Extremely Important For A Global Understanding Of The Musical Phenomenon. Nevertheless, They Are Simply Outside My Field Of Expertise, Which Consists In Linking The Sound Structure To The Measurable Experience Of It; They Will Therefore Not Be Explicitly Addressed In This Book-- Provided By Publisher.
