Die Vortragsreihe Musik & Medizin präsentiert wissenschaftliche und künstlerische Beiträge internationaler Expert_innen verschiedener Disziplinen, um die Wechselwirkungen und Mechanismen zwischen Erfahrung, Verarbeitung und psychophysiologischen Auswirkungen von Musik auf den Menschen zu untersuchen und gleichzeitig zu verstehen, wie Musik Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden fördern kann.
Eine Veranstaltung des Programmbereichs (Inter)Mediation (Interuniversitäre Einrichtung Wissenschaft & Kunst, Universität Salzburg/Universität Mozarteum Salzburg) in Kooperation mit dem Fachbereich Biowissenschaften der Universität Salzburg und der Paracelsus Medizinischen Privatuniversität Salzburg.
In this lecture I will present findings from cognitive neuroscience that bear on the question of how we get from perception of sound patterns to pleasurable responses. I will first discuss evidence that corticocortical loops from and to the auditory cortex are responsible not only for perceptual processes but also for working memory, sensory-motor, and predictive functions that are essential to produce and perceive music. Then, I will discuss neuroimaging and brain modulation studies from our lab focusing on the dopaminergic reward system, its involvement in musical pleasure, and what happens when that system is disrupted. I propose that pleasure in music arises from interactions between cortical loops that enable expectancies to emerge from perceived sound patterns, and subcortical systems responsible for reward and valuation. This model integrates knowledge derived from basic neuroscience of reward mechanisms with independently derived concepts, such as tension and anticipation, from music theory.
Prof. Robert J. Zatorre, PhD, studied music and psychology at Boston University, and obtained his PhD at Brown University, followed by postdoctoral work with Brenda Milner at the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University, where he currently holds a Canada Research Chair in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience.
