MUSS2001 Music and Neuroscience (5 op)
Kuvaus
The course focuses on the central themes in cognitive neuroscience of music. The lectures will cover 1) the major brain research methods used to study music processing, 2) the neural basis of music perception and music-induced emotions, 3) the development of music processing during childhood, and 4) the neuroplastic effects of musical training.
Osaamistavoitteet
The course is aimed at giving an overview of the current knowledge on how music is processed in the brain and how musical experience shapes brain maturation. During the course, students will gain first-hand experience in conducting an experiment (e.g. EEG) and learn how brain responses related to sound processing can be extracted from neural data.
