The Neuropsychology of Music Different levels of inquiry into the neuropsychology of music The analysis of normal and abnormal psychological and physiological functions to determine the principles and modes by which the human brain processes, codifies, stores, and produces music. A description of the clinical deficits in music perception or performance resulting from localized or diffuse damage to the nervous system.
