my latest, in Trends in Cognitive Sciences

this review lays out what I think the fundamental specializations are for music perception in humans, namely, the hierarchical processing of pitch and rhythm

or, how our minds turn vibrating air into music

I really like the framing of music-in-infant-care as a contrast to Mozart Effect / 'music makes you smarter'. the first thing actually works whereas the second does not

we didn't frame our Child Development paper (doi.org/10.1111/cdev...) this way but Susan Pinker did in her WSJ piece (gift link):
Babies Don’t Need Mozart Recordings, Just a Parent Who Sings
The salutary effect of music on infants is more about happiness than smarts.
