Subject: Re: [huml-comment] Article: Music, Emotions, and The Brain
Great lead. associated _Science_ article; this free from University newsletter: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~news/releases/dec02/melodies.shtml In sum: Includes Quiktime color animation of torus movement of keys in the piece of music used to test perception. Selected composition by Birk shifts from key to key. Shifts were tracked only by the prefrontal cortex during NMRI in experienced musicians (used to isolate locus of perception as rostral prefrontal cortex -- connected to temporal auditory processes right under the ear, but Not adjacent to the corpus callosum which communicates between the lobes. CogSci music modeler, Dept. of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience. Uses EEG, ERP, fMRI. Publications include study of Western Music perception by experienced musicians, and songbird song consolidation (avia, finch -- their cerebellum is also like ours). His wife Katie Henry is a singer-songwriter (banjo, guitar) with MP3 links from the site. Recent articles on CNN and in Science not shown in publications list. Example: Janata, P. (2001c).

Janata said that part of the brain also plays a key role in learning and in the response and control of emotions.
