Neurocognition de la musique
FY 2019-20
Summary
Anything that the human brain creates might be considered biological. However, the human brain is also a highly flexible system that can learn and invent codes and skills that can be transmitted to others by non-genetic mechanisms. Whether music is such a cultural invention or is in our genes is a major question that motivates my research program. To address this question, I focus my research on congenital amusia, a lifelong difficulty to develop normal musicality. This condition provides a rare chance to examine the neurobiology of music cognition by tracing links between music, brain and genes.
