Details

The Summer school will focus on:

  1. Interdisciplinary approach to musical understanding
  2. Mirror neurons and the enactive aspects of musicality
  3. Emotional feedback in musical experience

What phenomenological experiences are connected to musical engagement and understanding? What is the role of the bodily motor knowledge in the sense-giving process of musical comprehension? What faculties underlie musical understanding and how are these reflected in neuroscientific and psychological findings? 

The summer school will investigate musical understanding from philosophical, psychological and neuroscientific perspectives and will address the raised questions through presentations, discussions, reading groups, and analysis of empirical work conducted before and during the summer school. The aim of the school is to provide an opportunity to engage with cutting edge research, interact with leading academics and participate actively in debate, research design, analysis and presentation. 

Open to graduate students  with a clear interest and some prior experience with psychology of music.
