Offering a groundbreaking interdisciplinary perspective, this book explores the fundamental mechanisms behind music perception by bridging music psychology with computational neuroscience. It models how adaptation and synchronization shape neural responses to music, revealing insights unattainable through traditional brain localization theories. By applying complex systems theory, it shifts the focus from isolated brain regions to dynamic network interactions, providing a holistic and predictive framework with relevance across a broad spectrum of natural sciences. Ideal for researchers across musicology, psychology, neuroscience, as well as complexity and computational science, it opens new paths for understanding the brain's response to music through scientific precision and cross-disciplinary integration.

This book is a self-contained monograph on music psychology from the perspective of complex systems Presents the roots and perspectives of music psychology and complex systems Focuses on the modeling of musical perception
