Music Matters: a blog on music cognition

This site caught my eye with the video of the Daily Show conversation with Dr. Oliver Sacks, a noted neurologist, including a comparison of brain scans while listening the Bach and Beethoven.

Other articles include discussions about earworms and why we remember a melody sticks with us, the possibility of the presence of a music gene, and even a dancing cockatoo as evidence of beat induction.

Scroll searching and watch a video of Glenn Gould playing Bach.

Some postings are in other languages.
