En savoir plus sur le livre
The motor actions of a virtuoso musician can appear superhuman, as they execute fast, precise movements while coordinating their hands, fingers, eyes, and vocal apparatus. Such skill results from extensive practice—hundreds or thousands of hours—but does not guarantee exceptional musicianship. This exploration delves into the secrets of musical virtuosity, offering a comprehensive examination of music and motor cognition. It investigates the neural underpinnings of music-making, an area of study that is increasingly illuminated by brain imaging techniques. The book discusses the impact of prolonged music-making on our brains and analyzes motor processes across various instruments, including vocal, string, wind, and percussion, in different performance contexts. Additionally, it addresses the challenges musicians may face later in life, such as motor problems, and explores potential therapies. Music's significance within brain sciences is profound, and with insights from leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and neurologists, this work significantly enhances our understanding of the intricate relationship between music and the brain.
