Playing Mathematical Instruments: Emerging Perceptuomotor Integration with an Interactive Mathematics Exhibit (2013, background): “(Sacks, 2008 p. 34) That motor activity is involuntarily enacted as part of perception is stressed by Sacks’ observation, "I not only 'hear' the music, but I 'see' my hands on the keyboard before me, and ‘feel’ them playing the piece."”
Thinking with external representations (2010, background): “Even if it is possible for the experience of the mental image of music to be as vivid and detailed as perception of the real thing, few people—other than the musically gifted, the professional musician, or composer (Sacks 2008)—can accurately control musical images in their heads.”
Interaction, External Representation and Sense Making (2009, background): “Even if it is possible for the experience of the mental image of music to be as vivid and detailed as perception of the real thing, few people – other than the musically gifted, the professional musician or composer, [Sacks 08] – can accurately control musical images in their heads.”
Auditory imagery: empirical findings. (2010, background): “Much of the literature on musical hallucinosis involves a focus on case histories (e.g., Fischer, Marchie, & Norris, 2004; Sacks, 2007), and estimates of the prevalence of musical hallucinosis in psychiatric patients range from 0.”
How do “earworms” start? Classifying the everyday circumstances of Involuntary Musical Imagery (2012, background): “This result supports previous studies that have highlighted the importance of familiarity and recency in INMI episodes, and therefore validate the crucial role of musical memory in these everyday experiences (Bailes, 2006, 2007; Beaman & Williams, 2010; Liikkanen, 2008, 2009), as well as the influen”
The role of music in adolescent development: much more than the same old song (2013, background): “Prominent researchers are even publishing bestselling books that popularise cutting-edge scientific work in the cognitive neuroscience of music (for example, Levitin, 2008; Sacks, 2007).”
Music, biological evolution, and the brain (2010, background): “The current focus, however, is on evidence that regular engagement with music can exert lasting effects on brain functions in a wider range of individuals (e.g., Sacks, 2007; Dalla Bella et al., 2009; Bradt et al., in press).”
