Music, Passion, and Cognitive Function examines contemporary cognitive theories of music, why they cannot explain music's power over us, and the origin and evolution of music. The book presents experimental confirmations of the theory in psychological and neuroimaging research, discussing the parallel evolution of consciousness, musical styles, and cultures since Homer and King David.
In addition, it explains that 'in much wisdom is much grief' due to cognitive dissonances created by language that splits the inner world. Music enables us to survive in this sea of grief, overcomes discomforts and stresses of acquiring new knowledge, and unifies the soul, hence the power of music.
- Provides a foundation of music theory
- Demonstrates how emotions motivate interaction between cognition and language
- Covers differentiation and synthesis in consciousness
- Compares the parallel evolution of music and cultures
- Examines the idea of music overcoming cognitive dissonances
Among revolutionary successes of physics of the mind are cognitive-mathematical modeling of several fundamental psychological areas that have resisted mathematical modeling for decades, including perception and cognition, neural mechanisms of abstract concepts, interaction of cognition and language (unresolved since Chomsky), cognitive functions of aesthetic emotions (misunderstood since Kant), cognitive functions of emotions of the beautiful, mechanisms of the high meaning, interactions between beautiful and meaning, cognitive functions of musical emotions, and the reasons why music affects us so much - what Darwin called the greatest mystery.
Dr. Perlovsky has created a mathematical foundation for physics of the mind, a new area of cognitive mathematics, dynamic logic, which overcomes computational complexity preventing mathematical modeling of the mind since the 1960s. He served as Chief Scientist at Nichols Research, a $500mm high-tech DOD contractor, as professor at Novosibirsk University and New York University; as a principal in commercial startups. His company predicted 9/11
"Music: Passions and Cognitive Functions" is his most recent book. He has founded and serves as Editor-in-Chief for "Physics of Life Reviews,¿ the IF=9.5, ranked #3 in the world among 84 journals in biophysics. He received prestigious awards including the INNS Gabor Award, and the John McLucas Award, the highest US Air Force Award for basic research. In 2016 he has been appointed Professor at St Petersburg Peter the Great Polytechnic University.

"This excellent book offers unique cognitive explanations confirmed in experiments…Professor Perlovsky demonstrates that music helps overcome cognitive dissonances, unify the inner world, survive in a sea of grief, and continue cultural evolution." --Professor Michel Cabanac de Lafregeyre, Laval University, Psychiatry and Neuroscience
"The only theory explaining power of music, its cognitive mechanisms, and making predictions confirmed by experiments is described in this book. Cognitive musicology becomes a "hard" science." --Professor Nobuo Masataka, Kyoto University
