Infant Neuroscience and Music

<p><span>Infant Neuroscience and Music brings together leading international researchers to examine how music shapes the developing infant brain. Across its contributed chapters, the volume connects laboratory neuroscience with clinical and developmental practice — covering the neurophysiological mechanisms of early auditory processing, the role of rhythm in motor development, and the therapeutic use of music in neonatal intensive care. Contributors draw on advanced methods including MRI and EEG, and set the science within its cultural and caregiving contexts. The result is a multidisciplinary reference for researchers, clinicians, educators, and caregivers seeking an evidence-based account of why music matters for infant health — and where the field is heading.</span></p>
