Cognitive musicology investigates topics such as the parallels between language and music in the brain. Research often includes biologically inspired models of computation, such as neural networks and evolutionary programs. [116] This field seeks to model how musical knowledge is represented, stored, perceived, performed, and generated.

There is a universal understanding that music is not the ...
