Frontiers in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience
Journal of Mathematics and Music: Official Journal of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music. Publishes articles on mathematical and computational approaches to music theory, analysis, composition and performance.
Journal of Music and Meaning: JMM bridges studies in meaning and signification, and music research, encouraging multidisciplinary research on meaning that challenges conceptions of music, or through studying musical phenomena.
General
Music and the Brain: The Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University: Our work suggests that musicians have a specialized neural system for processing sight and sound in the brainstem, the neural gateway to the brain.
The Brain and the Mind - King's College, London: Neuroscientists meet artists, philsophers, and analysts.
