This is your brain on music….
Just finished Daniel J. Levitin’s This is Your Brain On Music. Strongly recommended for both music lovers and scientists (and particularly those interested in brains and AI). There are lots of things in the book I disagreed with, and I think it could have had a better ending, but the writing is great, and it’s pitched at a good level for a general audience. The frequent use of music references from many genres were particularly good. As the book articulated neurally: music is evocative, and tying these ideas to tunes you know really gives them impact.
