| Summary |
In this ground-breaking synthesis of art and science, Diana Deutsch shows how illusions of music and speech have fundamentally altered thinking about the brain. Deutsch addresses many fascinating questions: Why is perfect pitch so rare? Why do some people hallucinate music? Why do we hear phantom words? Why do we sometimes hear speech as song? Drawing on psychology, music theory, linguistics, and neuroscience, this book will prove engrossing to specialists and non-specialists alike |
