This review explores how the brain processes music, integrating findings on perception, memory, emotion, and performance in both musicians and non-musicians. It examines music-specific neural networks and the impact of musical training on brain plasticity.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Music Cognition

Background:

  • Music processing is a complex cognitive function involving perception, memory, emotion, and performance.
  • Understanding the neural basis of music cognition offers insights into general brain function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and integrate current research on how the brain processes music.
  • To examine the neural underpinnings of common musical abilities in musicians and non-musicians.
  • To discuss the effects of musical training on brain plasticity and the existence of music-specific neural networks.

Main Methods:

  • Review of lesion studies and neuroimaging techniques.
  • Integration of data on musical abilities, playing, and reading skills.
  • Analysis of research on music-specific neural networks.

Main Results:

  • Lesion studies and neuroimaging reveal insights into music perception, memory, emotion, and performance.
  • Musical training demonstrably affects brain plasticity.
  • The existence of dedicated music-specific neural networks is debated.

Conclusions:

  • The brain's engagement with music is multifaceted, impacting various cognitive domains.
  • Musical training induces significant neuroplastic changes.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate music-specific neural processing and cultural variations.
