  2. Psychology of music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_music

    The psychology of music can shed light on non-psychological aspects of musicology and musical practice. For example, it contributes to music theory through investigations of the perception and computational modelling of musical structures such as melody, harmony, tonality, rhythm, meter, and form.

  3. Levitin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitin_effect

    The Levitin effect is a phenomenon whereby people, even those without musical training, tend to remember songs in the correct key.The finding stands in contrast to the large body of laboratory literature suggesting that such details of perceptual experience are lost during the process of memory encoding, so that people would remember melodies with relative pitch, rather than absolute pitch.

  4. Cognitive musicology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_musicology

    This is your brain on music. New York: Plume. —Recording engineer turned music psychologist Daniel Levitin talks about the psychology of music in an up tempo, informal, and personal way.

  5. Spiral array model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_array_model

    In music theory, the spiral array model is an extended type of pitch space. A mathematical model involving concentric helices (an "array of spirals"), it represents human perceptions of pitches, chords, and keys in the same geometric space. It was proposed in 2000 by Elaine Chew in her MIT doctoral thesis Toward a Mathematical Model of Tonality ...

  8. Melodic expectation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodic_expectation

    In music cognition and musical analysis, the study of melodic expectation considers the engagement of the brain's predictive mechanisms in response to music. [1] For example, if the ascending musical partial octave "do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-..." is heard, listeners familiar with Western music will have a strong expectation to hear or provide one ...

  9. Neuroscience of music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_music

    An example is the phenomenon of tapping to the beat, where the listener anticipates the rhythmic accents in a piece of music. Another example is the effect of music on movement disorders: rhythmic auditory stimuli have been shown to improve walking ability in Parkinson's disease and stroke patients. [41] [42]
