25th November 2021: In this lecture Robert J. Zatorre (McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, CA) will present findings from cognitive neuroscience that bear on the question of how we get from perception of sound patterns to pleasurable responses. He will first discuss evidence that corticocortical loops from and to the auditory cortex are responsible not only for perceptual processes but also for working memory, sensory-motor, and predictive functions that are essential to produce and perceive music.
