One-third of the October 2012 issue of Topics in Cognitive Science is devoted to the question “Why should music be of interest to cognitive scientists?” (as blogged by Henkjan Honing at Music Matters. While I read the abstracts of several of these articles back in August, it’s nice to be able to read the full text now. I will make an attempt to write about as many of these articles as possible during the next week, but to start with, here’s the table of contents, along with links to my citeulike page.
