Description

Music, Thought, and Feeling: Understanding the Psychology of Music

Examining the intersection of music, psychology, and neuroscience, Music, Thought, and Feeling: Understanding the Psychology of Music (2nd Edition) surveys the rapidly growing field of music cognition and explores its most interesting questions. Written by William Forde Thompson and published by Oxford University Press, this comprehensive text assumes minimal background in music or psychology, making it an accessible resource for students and enthusiasts alike. The book begins with an overview of the major theories regarding how and when music became a widespread aspect of human behavior.

This second edition covers a broad range of essential topics, including:

  • How humans perceive and process musical structures
  • The complex links between music and emotional experience
  • Insights from modern neuroimaging techniques regarding music’s effect on the brain
  • The psychological processes involved in imagining, composing, and performing music
  • Potential cognitive and therapeutic benefits of musical engagement

By blending scientific research with musical theory, this volume provides a deep understanding of the cognitive mechanisms that allow us to create and enjoy music. It serves as an essential guide for anyone looking to understand the evolutionary, biological, and psychological foundations of musical experience.
