Music, Language and the Brain: sound examples Comparing music and language provides a powerful way to study the mechanisms that the mind uses to make sense out of sound. As cognitive and neural systems, music and language are closely related.Ģ. Geographic areas of study will include: Europe, Africa, Latin America, India, Eastern Europe.ġ. We will discuss the origins of music, the nature of rhythm, perception of time, and the use of music and dance to enhance trance, altered states and ritual. We will investigate music (and language) from cognitive, perceptual, neurological and evolutionary perspectives, following a highly multidisciplinary path through aspects of music cognition, psychoacoustics, ethnomusicology, systematic musicology, computational ethnomusicology, cultural anthropology, linguistics and auditory neursoscience.
