Keynote Address by Daniel Levitin, author of "This is Your Brain on Music," Laboratory for Musical Perception, Cognition, and Expertise, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Dan Levitin's research in musical perception has raised many questions: By the age of 5 we are all musical experts. How is the brain able to do this? How does music affect our emotions? How does memory work? How do people with autism think and why, with ability in math, is there no musical aptitude? Tens of thousands of years ago, why did our ancestors first pick up instruments and begin to play? Does the brain experience a live performance differently from a recorded one? What is the true impact of powerful music on the human brain?
