Professor Robert Turner from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig studies how music is perceived and processed in our brain. How does the brain change when we learn to play a musical instrument or read sheet music? How does music processing differ from language processing in the brain? And how is it possible that musical memories persist despite dementia – so that some people who can no longer speak due to illness are still able to sing songs? In a musical dialogue with Prof. Fredrik Ullén, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Turner discusses in his lecture how music serves as a “window into general brain functions.”

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
