Rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin examines the relationship between music—its performance, composition, how we listen to it, and why we appreciate it—and the human brain in this ground-breaking fusion of art and science. Levitin challenges well-known theorists who maintain that music is merely an evolutionary coincidence by arguing that music is, if not more, fundamental to our species than language.
