In social justice activism, offensive rhetoric is considered a form of toxic pollution. ![]() ![]() The introduction establishes that this isn't going to be simply a dry recitation about music, science, and the brain. Levitin's book is, in his words, "about the science of music, from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience." Don't let that scare you off. And although far from perfect, Levitin's effort and its related website is a worthy exploration of what we know about how and why music is such an integral part of the human experience. But as Daniel Levitin makes clear in his book, This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession, there is so much going on behind the scenes that even the world's top scientists and psychologists cannot explain it. ![]() ![]() The music just goes in your ears, and there's a range of positive to negative reaction.
