Interested in a Summer School on Musicality?

From 14-24 June 2021 an impressive cast of international lecturers (click on poster on the left), from a wide range of disciplines, will try to unravel our capacity for music. Students will, next to attending lectures, work groups and online social events, work in groups with a designated tutor on a research project, within the broad topic of musicality, which they will present towards the end of the Summer School. 

The ABC Summer School will be taught online (Zoom); The closing ABC Symposium will be hybrid. 

Credits: 4 ECTS. Tuition: €275. N.B. This fee will be waived for all students registered at a Dutch university.

Interested in music, language and cognition?

Lake Como School of Advanced Study

In recent years, the relationships and interactions between language, music and the brain have stimulated substantial interest in the scientific community; the study of these relationships is emerging as a new interdisciplinary field, involving psychology, linguistics, music and neuroscience. An interesting aspect of these studies is how they focuses attention on an often neglected area of human behavior, namely its temporal dimension. Bio-musicological and neuro-linguistic studies have produced significant findings for our understanding of cognitive and social processes, of evolution, and for the role that music may have in education and in rehabilitation of language and, more generally, of cognitive disorders.

The Summer School “Music, Language and Cognition” offers an extended overview of complex behavioral events whose existence is time dependent, including language, music and body movement. We focus on how sounds, melodies, rhythm and syntactic information in music and language may afford the extraction of regularities, the generation of expectations, the coordination of perception and action, the directing of attention, and the priming of interactive social behavior. Lecturers will be integrated by brain storming and students presentations.
