This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession is a popular science book written by the McGill University neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin, and first published by Dutton Penguin in the U.S. and Canada in 2006, and updated and released in paperback by Plume/Penguin in 2007.
Her book, Cognitive Foundations of Musical Pitch (Krumhansl, 1990) has been reviewed by David Huron [2] and is a standard resource for teachers and students of music psychology and one of the discipline's most cited sources. [citation needed] Her father was James A. Krumhansl, a Cornell physicist. [3]

Musical memory refers to the ability to remember music-related information, such as melodic content and other progressions of tones or pitches. The differences found between linguistic memory and musical memory have led researchers to theorize that musical memory is encoded differently from language and may constitute an independent part of the phonological loop.
[2] This interdisciplinary field investigates topics such as the parallels between language and music in the brain. Biologically inspired models of computation are often included in research, such as neural networks and evolutionary programs. [3] This field seeks to model how musical knowledge is represented, stored, perceived, performed, and ...
The Levitin effect is a phenomenon whereby people, even those without musical training, tend to remember songs in the correct key.The finding stands in contrast to the large body of laboratory literature suggesting that such details of perceptual experience are lost during the process of memory encoding, so that people would remember melodies with relative pitch, rather than absolute pitch.
In music, tonal memory or "aural recall" is the ability to remember a specific tone after it has been heard. [1] Tonal memory assists with staying in tune and may be developed through ear training. Extensive tonal memory may be recognized as an indication of potential compositional ability. [2]
