{"product_id":"music-science-and-the-rhythmic-jonathan-berger-9780415709484","title":"Music, Science, and the Rhythmic Brain: Cultural and Clinical Implications","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book studies the effects of repetitive musical rhythm on the brain and nervous system, and in doing so integrates diverse fields including ethnomusicology, psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, religious studies, music therapy, and human health. It presents aspects of musical rhythm and biological rhythms, and in particular rhythmic entrainment, in a way that considers cultural context alongside theoretical research and discussions of potential clinical and therapeutic implications. Considering the effects of drumming and other rhythmic music on mental and bodily functioning, the volume hypothesizes that rhythmic music can have a dramatic impact on mental states, sometimes catalyzing profound changes in arousal, mood, and emotional states via the stimulation of changes in physiological functions like the electrical activity in the brain. This comprehensive volume will appeal to scholars in cognition, ethnomusicology, and music perception who are interested in the therapeutic potential of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Berger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415709482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415709484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Jonathan Berger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443476476159,"sku":"9780415709484","price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56421ca6-ab3e-4af9-88ac-5a4f4561314b.jpg?v=1777205784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/music-science-and-the-rhythmic-jonathan-berger-9780415709484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
