Music and Brain Plasticity: How Sounds Trigger Neurogenerative Adaptations
Description
This contribution describes how music can trigger plastic changes in the brain. We elaborate on the concept of neuroplasticity by focusing on three major topics: the ontogenetic scale of musical development, the phenomenon of neuroplasticity as the outcome of inter- actions with the sounds and ...
