If music is a language, it is a language of feeling.
Musical rhythms are life rhythms. Music provokes a response ingrained into our evolutionary development, leads to marked changes in emotions and is viewed as one way to stimulate the brain.
Through music we can learn much about the mind. This symposium is dedicated to Music and the Mind and we’re proud to introduce some of the world leaders in this research field. They will present on recent developments in this interesting and rapidly developing area.
