About Music and the Brain

The Library of Congress's Music and the Brain events offer lectures,podcasts, conversations and symposia about the explosion of new research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and music. Project chair Kay Redfield Jamison convenes scientists and scholars, composers, performers, theorists, physicians, psychologists, and other experts at the Library for a compelling 2-year series, with generous support from the Dana Foundation.

So far, these podcasts are available at Music and the Brain: Your Brain on Jazz: Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Improvisation; The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature; The Music of Language and the Language of Music; and Dangerous Music.
