Two very intriguing topics merged into one book it brings the study of the function of the brain to the forefront while focusing on its reaction and processing of music. Slightly heavy on the jargon from both disciplines some aspects were skimmed over but other pieces were very rewarding. The brain is still an emerging area of scientific study and so there is still much left unknown which makes it exciting. Some of the physiological reasoning behind things like musical expectations and earworms are quite neat to finally have explained. Plenty to chew on here.
