一場音樂與神經科學的精彩合奏 揭開藝術與科學之間的聯繫，展示我們的身體與大腦如何與音樂互動，說明我們為什麼需要音樂、如何使用音樂，提供欣賞與學習音樂的全新方法。 為什麼人會創作與演奏音樂？為什麼我們的身體會不由自主地隨節拍舞動？為什麼小調讓人悲傷，大調讓人歡快？音樂偏好與人格特質有關？音樂真能活化大腦、促進身心健康？什麼是音樂？音樂又為何存在？ 人與音樂互動時，無論是學生練習鋼琴音階、爵士樂手即興演奏旋律、少年因悲傷歌曲情不自禁落淚，還是在舞池上盡情跳舞，大腦中的無數神經元都在快速運作，讓不同腦區可以執行功能並彼此溝通。 演奏樂器需要動員神經系統的認知、感知和運動功能；作曲和即興演奏是大腦創造力的卓越展現；即便只是聆聽一首曲子這看似簡單的行為，也牽涉到多數人未曾發覺的心智能力。 神經科學家及音樂教育家攜手合作，以行為、細胞和神經科學為依據，透過古箏作曲、鋼琴家從讀譜到彈奏出音符的過程、悲傷音樂對心理的影響等例子，說明我們在創作、練習、表演與聆聽音樂時，大腦如何運作、變化與回應，音樂又是如何影響大腦。 兼具知識且貼近生活的內容，適合喜歡音樂與從事音樂相關工作的所有人。
