Awesome Book
I highly recommend that everyone reads Daniel Levitin's book titled This is Your Brain on Music. It is very interesting.. especially if you have any background in music theory. It talks about a wide range of topics, from the neural bases of music processing, to music and evolution, to the genetic bases of musicality, to "hearing" notes when the fundamental frequency is dropped. Very cool stuff.

Hmm maybe I will check that out. Thanks for posting that! I've never read any books that combine my interest in music and the brain, so this sounds like a good place to start.

I might have to read that, I used to play the trumpet and I wonder if that would be something I am interested in.
Thanks !!
