Former MIB PhD student argues that we are all musical beings.
16.08.2017 |
The talk "We are all musical beings" is based on Niels Christian's PhD carried out at Center for Music in the Brain (MIB), Aarhus University. In his talk, he challenges our understanding of musical skills as something reserved to the so-called ‘musical geniuses’ and argues that musical expertise is actually within reach for all of us.
Niels Chr. is a cognitive music theorist, classical pianist, and neuroscientist, former PhD student at MIB and now a postdoctoral researcher at The Cognitive and Systematic Musicology Lab at Ohio State University. The aim of his PhD study was to investigate how years-long, intensive training fundamentally changes the way that sounds are processed in the brains of expert musicians dedicating their lives and souls to classical music or jazz. To achieve this goal he used psychological experiments, computational modelling, and neuroimaging. The public defense of his research spurred widespread coverage in national and regional media.
