This book presents an interdisciplinary survey at the intersection of music, creativity, and medicine. Featuring contributions from medical doctors, psychologists, and musicians, it surveys thought-provoking findings in the music-medical borderlands. Experts in neuroscience explore the cerebral underpinnings of music, from auditory-motor interactions, to rhythm, to the role of music in therapy, epilepsy, and cognitive disorders. Case studies describe medical biographies of musical masters, including Beethoven's deafness, Schumann's deterioration, Ravel's dementia, and Gershwin's brain tumor. There are accompanying studio recordings from the volume editors. Students, researchers, or anyone interested in the new frontiers of music in medicine will find original cross-disciplinary connections in this volume.
Phillip L. Pearl is the William G. Lennox Chair in the Department of Neurology at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. He attended Johns Hopkins University and Peabody Conservatory of Music, was formerly Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Music at George Washington University. A physician-musician, he is Past-President of the Professors of Child Neurology and Child Neurology Society and has lectured and published extensively on the borderlands of music and medicine. Saman Arfaie earned dual degrees in Neurobiology and Persian Literature, with minors in Chemistry and Music, from the University of California, Berkeley, and completed his Doctor of Medicine and Master of Surgery at McGill University. A physician-musician and neurology resident at McGill, his work at the intersection of science, medicine, and the arts has garnered numerous national and international awards. He is a nationally sought-after TEDx speaker.
