Description
In the first comprehensive study of the relationship between music and language from the standpoint of cognitive neuroscience, Aniruddh D. Patel challenges the widespread belief that music and language are processed independently. Since Plato's time, the relationship between music and language has attracted interest and debate from a wide range of thinkers. Recently, scientific research on this topic has been growing rapidly, as scholars from diverse disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, music cognition, and neuroscience are drawn to the music-language interface as one way to explore the extent to which different mental abilities are processed by separate brain mechanisms. Accordingly, the relevant data and theories have been spread across a range of disciplines. This volume provides the first synthesis, arguing that music and language share deep and critical connections, and that comparative research provides a powerful way to study the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying these uniquely human abilities.

Reviews
"Peter Politser has provided a valuable and readable introduction to the burgeoning field of neuroeconomics that successfully brings together the essential concepts from psychology, neuroscience and economics."--T.W. Robbins, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Cambridge

"...provides a valuable review of a large, complex body of research. Two summary tables, organized by theory, help the reader to evaluate this information, so we can begin to recognize neurological correlates of the theoretical constructs. For a psychologist who is interested in contributions that neuroscience can make the study of decision making, the book contains a great deal of valuable information."--PsycCritiques
"Given its brevity, breadth of coverage, and complexity, the book is best suited as a study guide for researchers in adjacent fields...Helpful glossary and list of primary citations. Recommended."--Choice
