Description
THE NEURAL CODE OF PITCH AND HARMONY offers a groundbreaking investigation into the neurobiological foundations of music perception. Gerald Langner synthesizes decades of neuroscience research to explain how the brain encodes and interprets pitch, a fundamental element of music and speech.
The book delves into the intricate neural pathways that enable humans to recognize melodies, understand harmony, and appreciate complex musical structures. Langner explores oscillatory neural mechanisms, temporal coding, and the brain’s remarkable ability to extract meaningful acoustic information from sound waves.
By connecting molecular, cellular, and systems-level neuroscience, this work provides insight into why music affects us emotionally and cognitively. Essential for neuroscientists, musicians, and anyone interested in understanding the biological basis of auditory perception, this book bridges the gap between music theory and neuroscience.
