The Music and Cognition Research Team is comprised of psychologists and musicologists who together explore two of the greatest frontiers in human civilization: music and the brain. The mission of this new research team is to build knowledge about the brain by studying cognitive and neuroanatomical function using musical creativity as a vehicle. Toward this end the research team will investigate differences in neuroanatomical functioning between highly trained musicians and non-musicians. This information will guide further exploration on how acquiring musical competence may affect neural processing.
