This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession

by Daniel J. Levitin

Daniel Levitin's This Is Your Brain on Music explains why a few organized vibrations in the air can make you cry, dance, or remember a person you lost. A neuroscientist who once worked as a record producer, he's the rare guide fluent in both the lab and the studio.
