Music, Language, and the Brain is due to be released tomorrow (Nov. 7) from Oxford University Press.
“In the first comprehensive study of the relationship between music and language from the standpoint of cognitive neuroscience, Aniruddh D. Patel (Senior Fellow, The Neurosciences Institute, San Diego) challenges the widespread belief that music and language are processed independently.”

The Hidden Sense: Synesthesia in Art and Science (Leonardo Books), is new from MIT Press: “In The Hidden Sense, Cretien van Campen explores synesthesia from both artistic and scientific perspectives, looking at accounts of individual experiences, examples of synesthesia in visual art, music, and literature, and recent neurological research.”
