NEUROMÚSICA UFABC is an interdisciplinary group dedicated to the study of musical behavior and cognition from the perspective of cognitive psychology and neuroscience.
Our goal is to disseminate knowledge and stimulate research in the field of music cognition to understand better how we perceive, memorize, imagine, create, and respond emotionally and aesthetically to music. We also aim to investigate socio-emotional, cognitive, and therapeutic effects derived from the use of music in different contexts, as well as the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying such effects. Last but not least, we seek to bridge scientific findings with musical practice and teaching.
The group was created in 2015 at the Interdisciplinary Unit for Applied Neuroscience (NINA) at Universidade Federal do ABC.
