Introducing the neuronal mechanisms of pitch and harmony, and the role of neuronal oscillations for brain and mind, this unique title demonstrates that musical pitch is a temporal and not a spectral phenomenon, and musical harmony is not a cultural heritage but a mathematical necessity based on neurobiological mechanisms.

Marc Notes: Harmony is an integral part of our auditory environment. Resonances characterised by harmonic frequency relationships are found throughout the natural world and harmonic sounds are essential elements of speech, communication and, of course, music. Providing neurophysiological data and theories that are suitable to explain the neural code of pitch and harmony, the author demonstrates that musical pitch is a temporal phenomenon and musical harmony is a mathematical necessity based on neuronal mechanisms. Brief Description: An introduction to the neuronal mechanisms of pitch and harmony, and the role of neuronal oscillations for brain and mind. Table of Contents: Preface; 1. Historical aspects of harmony; 2. Sound and periodicity; 3. The discovery of the missing fundamental; 4. The pitch puzzle; 5. The auditory time constant; 6. Pathways of hearing; 7. Periodicity coding in the brainstem; 8. Periodicity coding in the midbrain; 9. Theories of periodicity coding; 10. Periodotopy; 11. The neural basis of harmony; 12. The oscillating brain; References; Subject index.

Contributor Bio:  Langner, Gerald Gerald Langner received a diploma in physics from the Technical University of Munich in 1971. He then worked at the Max-Plank-Institute in Gottingen and at the TU Darmstadt where he studied hearing in birds and electroreception in fish. In 1985, during a research stay in Canberra, Australia, he discovered together with Henning Scheich the electric sense in platypus. From 1988 to 2008 he was Professor of Neurobiology in Darmstadt with his research focus on spatial and temporal aspects of processing in the auditory system.
