Music and Brain (4) Seminar, three hours/wk; outside study, nine hours/wk. This seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding brain mechanisms mediating music perception, performance, and cognition. Students' natural interest in music serves as springboard for learning basic concepts about how the brain works. The seminar focuses on specific themes such as harmony perception, rhythm perception and production, and creativity. The course is designed to help students understand methodologies currently used to investigate mind-brain correlates. Fundamental principles in neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and neuroanatomy that are relevant to basic research in cognitive neuroscience and auditory neuroscience are emphasized. After three foundational lectures by Professor Tramo, student study-groups present key papers from the literature as a team. There will be guest professors from neuroscience, music, and the music industry. Every week, there are written homework assignments that are based on the lectures. The final examination is take-home based on the homeworks and lectures. There is letter grading based on attendance/punctuality (20%), homework score (30%), final exam score (30%), presentation/participation (20%).
