Description

In our everyday lives language and instrumental music are obviously different things. Neuroscientist and musician Ani Patel is the author of a recent, elegantly argued offering from Oxford University Press, Music, Language and the Brain. Oliver Sacks calls Patel a “pioneer in the use of new concepts and technology to investige the neural correlates of music.” In this podcast he discusses some of the hidden connections between language and instrumental music that are being uncovered by empirical scientific studies.
