It's more like six songs... according to author Daniel Levitin. A new book by Daniel, The World In Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature, will be released tomorrow. Levitin checks the link between music and the brain through six types of songs: knowledge, friendship, love, comfort, joy, and religion.
Even an article Levitin wrote about the Beatles is heady stuff - the last paragraph mentioning neural firings and cortex... who knew?
Levitin is also the author of This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession.
As you may have guessed, I'm a really big fan of the whole music thing!
